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

Schools across the state, including those in the Houston area, are required to follow this guideline. Further details on this new safety measure can be found through Texas Public Radio, a local news source in San Antonio.
