Once kids are at school there is no reason to send them home due to temperatures. The only exception might be if very extreme weather with severe drops in temperatures that might put the students in danger happens during school hours, but that is very unlikely.
Home weather stations are very interesting to have in your home. They give you the daily temperature, barometer reading, humidity, outside temperature, sunny or rain conditions. They are very informative and can be used as a teaching tool for children studying weather in science.

yes, if the temperature is over 27 degrees you are allowed to leave school and go home. this is because you may become too hot and become ill and if your school gets over 43 degrees Celsius it is the law for your Principal to send you home
From a health & safety standpoint, schools have a duty of care to their pupils. If the heating fails while the school is in session - the children should be sent home.
If the house temperature inside is greater than the temperature outside the house, then yes. If the temperature outside the home is greater than the temperature inside of the home, then no.

Geoff Jenkins has written: 'Simple weather measurements at school or at home'
Your child should stay home if they are sick and especially if they are contagious.
Laws for school closings, as far as is known, involves making up days that are missed due to weather, not about actually closing schools for weather related causes. The decision to close schools for weather is made by each school district based on weather conditions and keeping students safe. In extreme weather, the governor of some states can order that all public schools in that state be closed.
In most states, a landlord must provide a means to heat your home during extreme weather or climatology.
You should keep a child home from school if the sick child is registering a fever or is vomiting, or is known to have a contagious condition. School handbook's are a good source of information on what the school expects from the child and his parents.
It may change from one Local Authority to the next. A definite answer for Central Scotland's schools is that the temperature must fall to 17 Celsius or lower inside the school in order for pupils to be sent home. Staff are not permitted to be sent home purely for temperature reasons and so are instructed to move the nearest school which is warmer than 17 degrees Celsius.
