Labyer said she made the decision at 6 a.m. Wednesday to hold school, but then power to about half of one elementary school went out for several hours, forcing students to double up classes.
"This time of year, when it’s so close to testing that you’re trying to ensure you’ve passed your PASS objectives ... this is not a good time to be out of school,” Labyer said. "When you disrupt the day-to-day routine it takes a while to get back into the day-to-day routine, so we just have to be diligent.”
