Principal: 'Sorry' that kids stuck in heat
The principal of Robert Frost Middle School in Rockville apologized to parents Wednesday after an evacuation at the school led to 24 kids suffering heat-related illnesses, News Channel 8 is reporting.
"I am sincerely sorry for any adverse impact upon your children. My number one priority is their safety and security," Joey Jones said during a meeting to address parents' concerns over the incident.
Frost students spent more than two hours in the school's fields while a bomb threat was investigated last Wednesday, a day when temperatures climbed into the upper 80s.

Just think, if it were a holiday, these same sensitive, over-coddled, treasures would have been in this same heat playing. (Er ... kids do still play outside these days, don't they?)
