A new safety measure is in effect for Texas schools, requiring them to adjust outdoor athletic practices based on heat readings. This change is already being implemented as preseason football workouts have begun. The measure involves measuring the wet bulb globe temperature to determine the safety of practice conditions.

Schools in the Houston area, including those in Spring, are subject to this new requirement. Further details on this safety measure can be found through Houston Public Media, which has reported on the implementation of this new rule as it affects local schools and athletic programs.
