Close Schools When The Temperature Exceeds 32°C
Rejected

What the petition asks
When the temperature reaches higher than 32°C, the Government will close down the all the schools around that area.
After experiencing the recent heatwave, I think that students should not have to go to school in such hot weather. The Government has also issued red heat warnings, which can be dangerous for students. My petition will close down schools around hot areas over 32°C which will protect and shelter students and teachers from the heat.
