Casper high schools the 'hot' place to be

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — A record-breaking hot summer is drawing to a close and the school year has begun with students sweltering in Casper high schools.

The air conditioning at Kelly Walsh High School is not functioning at full capacity, and it’s a hot first few weeks of school even when it is, according to the school’s principal, Brad Diller. Much of the school does not even have air conditioning installed. For the past several years, school has started in the last weeks of August, and it’s always warm, he added.
