It's become routine for temperatures in many of the classrooms at Campbell High to creep into the low 90's.

500 teachers, students and parents are turning up the heat this morning at the state capitol. They’re rallying for cooler classrooms, and will be calling on lawmakers to get air conditioning in some of Hawaii’s hottest schools. HPR’s Molly Solomon takes us to a classroom in Ewa Beach and has this report.
