We are having some power issues at the grade school. Ameren is on site and has diagnosed the problem, which is on one of the poles outside. An Ameren crew is on their way to fix the problem. Once they arrive, the power will be out for approximately 45 minutes or less. Lunch will not be affected, but sometime this afternoon, the lights will be off in classrooms and hallways. The phones may not work either during that time. The staff is aware and has assured me that they will manage that "dark" time in their classrooms. Also, the water system will not be affected.
If you need to call the school, then I encourage you to call now.
