California parents say their elementary school kids are getting bloody noses and headaches from learning in excessively hot classrooms

• Parents of children attending San Juan Elementary School in California say classrooms are too hot for students.
• Some kids are getting bloody noses and headaches from sitting in a hot classroom, they say.

California parents say their elementary school kids are developing bloody noses while learning in hot classrooms, reported KSBW Action News 8, a local affiliate of both ABC and NBC.

Administrators and faculty members at San Juan Elementary School have been fielding complaints and concerns from parents for days, Action News 8 reported.

"My kid the first few days was like, 'Mommy I'm sweaty,'" Dulce Montoya told the outlet. "His hair was all wet, he was beet red."

Montoya said she heard from another mom "who told me her kid came home two days complaining of a headache, another mom said her kid got a bloody nose."

Parents said the principal is aware of excessive heat inside the classrooms and has purchased small fans in an effort to cool down students.

But parents say that's not enough.

"You know they got one fan sitting on the floor in the corner, doesn't oscillate. It's not fair for the kids," Randy Burgess told Action News 8. "We should be able to donate fans if we want, you know what I mean? It seems like it's complicated even to do that."

"It was ridiculously hot at 6 o'clock at night in the classroom" on the first day back to school, Burgess, the father of a third-grader, said.

Concerned parents are asking for a more permanent solution to address the heat issues, Action News 8 reported.

"I understand people are saying, 'Oh my god we grew up without A/C,' I understand that," Montoya said. "The weather wasn't like this so there's nothing wrong with us wanting to adapt to the new weather and make it better for the kids."

"We don't leave dogs in cars, Burgess said. "We don't leave people in cars, we don't shut them in a room with no A/C."
