Eight of the West Chester elementary schools will dismiss early on Wednesday and Thursday due to the excessive heat and humidity that is expected to roll into the area tomorrow.
The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning for the West Chester area in effect until 8 p.m. Thursday evening. Forecasters predict that temperatures could reach the upper 90s both days.
The district chose to close the schools early because they are not equipped with air conditioning.
