The temperature that day was 40 degrees.
"Yes, I am aware of that. I had some internal conversations, and that's as far as I'll comment on it," Superintendent of Schools Aubrey Johnson told New Brunswick Today.
Johnson added that she supports Clifford "in terms of what he has done in the middle school moving forward."
"School-related issues will happen and we will deal with it accordingly," Johnson explained to New Brunswick Today. "Just for the record, I do support what's happening in the middle school … but we will have little things every now and then, and they are dealt with."
