“The program is located in the gym of a public school. The school is under renovation. The temperature in the gym registered 62 degrees on the specialist's thermometer. The school needs to find a way to keep the gym at 65 degrees (at least) at floor level. If space heaters are brought in they may not become hot to the touch to avoid a child getting burned and must shut off if tipped over. Specialist states that a conversation with the fire marshal as to the safest way to get the temperature up should occur.”
