Clinton Public School District

With the temperatures reaching extreme conditions, the Clinton Public School District is playing it cool when it comes to spending time outside. 

The Mississippi High School Activities Association has implemented a mandate that all athletic and band programs utilize the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature reading when planning outdoor practices and rehearsals. 

The WBGT is a measure of the heat stress in direct sunlight taking into account humidity, wind speed and cloud coverage. If the WBGT measures 92 or above, no students should participate in outdoor activities. 

Teachers at Clinton Park, Northside, Eastside and Lovett have also implemented the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature during scheduled recess.
