19 Naperville Elementary Schools Closing For Heat On Friday

All but two of the elementary schools in Naperville's Indian Prairie School District 204 will be closed on Friday, Sept. 2, 2011, due to concerns about excessive heat.

Temperatures in the Chicago area are expected to reach the mid-90s on Friday and some areas could see temperatures close to 100 degrees.

As a result of the high temperatures in the forecast, District 204 has decided to cancel classes at 19 elementary schools that do not have air conditioning. The move affects approximately 11,000 students.

The remaining two elementary schools, seven middle schools and five high schools will operate as normal on Friday.
