SLPS Announces Early Release Day for Wednesday, August 22

St. Louis - Superintendent Diana Bourisaw announced today that all students in all St. Louis Public Schools will be released early on Wednesday, August 22, due to excessive heat.

The dismissal time for schools will vary, depending upon each school’s start time.

Start Time Dismissal Time

7:20 a.m. 10:50 a.m.

8:15 a.m. 11:45 a.m.

9:10 a.m. 12:40 p.m.

“The district is monitoring weather conditions daily,” said Bourisaw. “Future decisions in connection with heat will be made on an as-needed basis. SLPS is prepared to implement shortened school days, when necessary, to address the safety of our students, administrators, faculty and staff.”

Sixty-nine percent of SLPS buildings are equipped with air-conditioning. Additional fans have been sent to all elementary schools without central cooling. In addition, all schools have been provided with bottled water. The district will take necessary actions to ensure that the conditions in the schools continue to be conducive to learning and instruction.
