You’ve Heard Of CNY Snow Days – But How About Heat Days?

It's back to school this week in CNY and when temps get too cold in the winter for walkers or roads become impassable, snow days easily get issued, but what about when the temps are too hot? That is a question that the teacher's union in Albany is asking.
