Big Apple students were sweltering this week amid the late season heat wave, with nearly 500 schools complaining of air conditioners, The Post has learned.The eye popping number of complaints surfaced after teachers conducted a survey to compile a list of schools struggling in the heat, and garnered 496 responses.
Children and staff have gotten heat sickness with temperatures of 82 degrees recorded in some classrooms and near 90 in gyms, said one source. At the New Utrecht High School in Bensonhurst, air conditioners in the cafeteria and some classrooms are not working and students are being shuffled into rooms that do have it, according to another source.
The United Federation of Teachers was not notified about the lack of AC until Wednesday or Thursday, when teachers were setting up classrooms or reporting for the first day of school.Some air conditioner repairs may not happen for another two months.
