Is there a legal minimum temperature for classrooms in school?

Yes, in the United States, federal law does not specifically set a legal minimum temperature for classrooms. However, some states and local school districts may have their own temperature regulations for schools. For example:

- California: California Education Code Section 35292.5 requires that indoor temperatures in classrooms be maintained at a minimum of 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) during school hours.

- Florida: Florida Statute 1006.40(2)(b) requires that indoor temperatures in classrooms be maintained at a minimum of 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) during school hours.

- Texas: The Texas Education Agency recommends that indoor temperatures in classrooms be maintained at a minimum of 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) during school hours. However, this is not a legal requirement.
