As if going back to school wasn't hard enough, students and teachers have a heat wave to deal with as well. Heat indexes of nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit have complicated back-to-school plans across Massachusetts, though some districts— like Boston— are forging ahead.

WBUR's Carrie Jung and Max Larkin and Chelsea Public Schools Superintendent Almi Abeyta join the show.

This segment aired on September 8, 2023.
