From Michael Cicchetti , Superintendent of Schools:

The High School experienced an electrical interruption last night at
approximately 6:30PM in an underground feeder where a phase to phase
short occurred. This phase short caused the interruption of power to
all areas of the school and also affected the ventilation systems.
School was closed today as a result of this occurrence. The underground
feeder line was replaced this morning by CL&P.

CURRENT STATUS: The power was restored at approximately 12:30 P.M.. At
this time, there is no reason to believe we will not be able to have
school in session tomorrow. This will not result in extending the
school year since our current school calendar exceeds the State-required
number of days.

Regarding today's activities:

1. All athletic games and practices will take place as scheduled.

2. The music department recital will take place this evening at 7:00 as scheduled.

3. Driver Education classes are cancelled.

This information was communicated via the athletics department phone
line, the special announcements line at the Board of Ed offices, and
office staff at both the high school and Board.
