Ylenia Aguilar has raised her sons in Arizona, where they are accustomed to scorching heat. She has witnessed firsthand the impact of extreme temperatures on children, including heat-related illnesses and dehydration.

Many schools in the U.S. lack adequate shade and are built with materials that trap heat, making students more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses. This can also affect their learning performance and concentration, leading to more frequent school closures due to extreme temperatures.

Communities of color and low-income neighborhoods often experience higher temperatures than wealthier, whiter areas, creating disparities in heat exposure.

There are proven methods to cool down schools and neighborhoods, such as reflective coatings on surfaces like playgrounds and roads. By implementing simple and cost-effective solutions like cool roofing and planting trees, schools can significantly lower indoor temperatures and reduce the need for air conditioning.

Despite the benefits of these strategies, many schools struggle to afford them, relying on grants that may not cover the full cost. Collaboration with local governments and communities can help make these solutions more accessible and create a more comfortable environment for students.

Aguilar’s efforts in improving the Osborn Elementary District in Phoenix demonstrate the importance of taking action to address rising temperatures. By planting more trees and adding shade, schools can create a safer and more comfortable environment for students.
