As school begins to ramp up, many students and teachers around Billings have been greeted with extremely hot classrooms. Five schools in School District 2 do not have complete air conditioning.
The end of the school year will be here next week and some parents and students have been preparing to show appreciation for the teachers. The Education Foundation for the Billings Public Schools has been preparing gift baskets.
There was extra police presence at schools across Billings Wednesday, a day after a shooting at a Texas elementary school left 19 children and two adults dead. A Billings psychiatrist is urging parents to talk to their kids about the trauma, while SD2 superintendent Greg Upham is asking for action.
