Pointing to the school district&#8217;s whopping 130 campuses, officials say maintenance crews are constantly monitoring air conditioning units to ensure classrooms remain at a safe temperature.<\/p>\n<p>With afternoon highs soaring into the triple digits this week and the heat index reaching a sweltering 107 degrees in San Antonio, the need for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysanantonio.com\/news\/local\/article\/saisd-heating-issues-20177750.php\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">consistent cooling across campuses<\/a> is apparent.
