Anderson High School cancels Tuesday, Wednesday classes due to lack of heating

Students at Anderson High School, which delayed the start of its school year and weeks later dismissed classes early due to extreme heat in its mid-renovation building, will get another unexpected break from classes Tuesday and Wednesday. According to a message from Forest Hills Schools superintendent Scot Prebles, those days will simply be too cold "to provide a comfortable classroom learning environment" with the temporary heating system currently in place. While students stay home, Prebles added, construction crews will have "uninterrupted" time to install a permanent heating system for the rest of the school year. "I am disappointed and frustrated that students and staff will endure another construction delay at Anderson, and I am truly sorry for any inconvenience it will cause," Prebles said. Students, families and teacher have spent much of the year working around the $21 million renovation project, which district officials predict will be complete in 2019.
