It’s been a trying fall season for Connecticut schools, as the conditions of school buildings across the state are reportedly making students sick.
According to a Connecticut Education Association survey, students are vomiting and complaining of headaches, suffering from extreme temperatures in classrooms and just overall feelings of sickness.

Teachers across the state are pointing to mold, rodent droppings and poor heating and ventilation systems in their classrooms, and saying that the conditions are impacting their students’ learning experiences.
The CEA has brought the issue to the attention of Connecticut state legislature, who will now be faced with fixing the problems.
