Rantoul's summer school may be cooler starting in 2011

RANTOUL – Students attending summer school at Rantoul City Schools will no longer have to sit through classes in sweltering non-air-conditioned classrooms beginning in 2011.

Heat and a lack of air conditioning led the school to send students attending summer school at Broadmeadow Elementary School home early on Wednesday. But Superintendent Bill Trankina said early dismissals due to heat could become a thing of the past the summer after next.
