Some students in Denver are only
going to class for a few hours today,
and it's because of that heat
Killy was just talking about.
9 News reporter Brianna Fernandez has
the latest from Skinner Middle School,
one of dozens of schools
without air conditioning.
Here at Skinner Middle School,
it's the first day of school,
but in just a couple of
minutes at exactly 1220,
students and teachers will be st
home early because the district
says it is just too hot to lear.
So we've been following
this topic very closely.
This happens every year when
schools go back in August,
They spend the first weeks tryio
mitigate the heat and cool their buildings.
If it's still too hot,
the district makes a decision td
the day early or close altogeth.
More than 40 schools in the dist
started the year without a C in the building.
Though 13 schools are in the
process of getting a C after
voters approved a bond in 2020.
That still leaves 31 schools
without a C with no plan to get.
D PS:, says they will be gettinC
as soon as there's enough fundi.
They prioritize the schools basd
on how hot they get at the stop.
At the top of the list are Skinner Middle,
Corey Ellis and Johnson Element.
The district plans to have a het
mitigation meeting and funding this Thursday.
That's when they have a scheduld
meeting that we know.
D PS:.
Says that those schools without,
they do have portable coolers ad
fans and also someone checking e
schools just to see how hot they get.
For now I'm in Denver.

Brianna, thank you.
Right now there is a Medina alet
for the person police say shopld
from a Walmart then hit someone
with their car and drove off.
Police say this started as
A at a Walmart in Parker.
They say the driver left the parking lot,
ran a red light and hit someone
walking in that intersection of
Parker Road and Lincoln Ave.
Police say they're looking for
a white 2005 Chevy Monte Carlo

They say the driver side
airbag may have gone off.
Anyone with information is asked
to call Parker police or 911
developing this noon a look at
attorney John Eastman leaving te
Fulton County Jail in Georgia.
Eastman surrendered himself to
Georgia authorities this morning
when asked by NBC News if he stl
believes the 2020 election was stolen,
Eastman said.
Quote, absolutely no question in my mind.
He's the former lawyer for formr
President Donald Trump and currt
attorney for the Colorado Republican Party.
Eastman is named in the Georgia
indictment in connection to trying to
overturn the 2020 election resu.
In Georgia, his bond is set at $100,000.
As a condition of that bond,
Eastman will not be allowed to
communicate with any codefendan.
This includes Trump.
A number of legal scholars say
Eastman's efforts to meddle in e
election were unconstitutional.
He's accused of devising and
promoting a plan for former Vice
President Mike Pence to overturn
the presidential race results.
Prosecutors say he also urged Georgia
State lawmakers to appoint fakeP
elections to replace legitimate ones.
Wednesday,
the Republican presidential candidates
will square off in their first debate.
The party's frontrunner,
former President Trump,
will not be on that stage in Milwaukee,
but he'll still very much be
in the spotlight.
NB C's Ali Vitali has the latest on his
fourth criminal indictment from Atlanta,
The waiting games still on here
at Fulton County as those 19
defendants have until Friday to
turn themselves in that deadlin,
of course set by the District
Attorney, Fonny Willis.
We know that the former president and some
of those top names on this defendants list,
though, have started conversatis
through their lawyers,
setting bail and figuring out wt
the process of surrender might look like.
We've already started to see
barricades added outside of thel
ahead of the Thursday deadline t
we expect that former President
Trump is going to set for himse.
He truth socialed overnight that he's going
to be turning himself in on Thursday.
Another one of his coconspirato,
John Eastman,
one of the key lawyers involved in the plot
to overturn the 2020 election results,
turn himself in today.
His bail has been set at $100,0,
the former president set at $200,000.
And look behind all of this is the fact
that there is the first Republin
primary debate set to happen tomorrow night.
Trump of course won't be there.
He's counter programming that et
with an interview of his own sot
of trolling Fox News by going to
one of their former top anchors,
Tucker Carlson for a sit down interview.
He pre taped that we expect himo
be at Bedminster while that debe
is going on and then of course
the following day coming to turn
himself in here back to you.

Mortgage rates are at the
highest level since 2000.
Right now you will pay 8.11%
for a 30 year fixed mortgage.
Demand remains high,
but supply of homes for sale is.
Not only do high mortgage ratese
it more expensive to finance a ,
they also make homeowners who locked in
at lower rates more reluctant to sell.
Many elements go into how banks
determine mortgage rates,
and the Federal Reserve rate
is a major influence.
