Kingsley Elementary parents and their children received a welcome that was a little too warm when they showed up for an open house this week.

The open house events at the Dunwoody school are for parents and their children to meet teachers for the upcoming school year. Christina Dupuis, a mom at the school, said employees were directing everyone to the gymnasium, the only room with air conditioning.

“It was 90 degrees in the hall, and classrooms were 85 to 90 degrees,” Dupuis said. “This is an ongoing problem. This didn’t happen yesterday.”
