MADISON, Wis. -

The weather is having an effect on school programs, even when schools aren't in session for the summer.

The Madison Metropolitan School District is shutting down all its summer programs Thursday and Friday due to the excessive heat.

The school district said it had to make the decision due to a lack of consistent air conditioning in buildings that house summer programs.

Aquatic programs and swim programs through MSCR will continue, but all other youth and adult programs through MSCR are canceled as well.

Because school programs are closed, there also will be no breakfast or lunch food services provided for the rest of the week.
