- 52 Philadelphia schools will go virtual Friday due to high temperatures. Here’s the list.
The Philadelphia school district will close 52 schools Friday and switch to virtual learning due to high temperatures, impacting around one-quarter of its schools. The decision follows similar actions on May 20 and prioritizes student and staff safety amid heat concerns, as many schools lack air conditioning in all rooms.
