While we are operating remotely today and Tuesday, we also know there is the chance our electrical providers may do rolling power outages to conserve energy. Evergy has announced it may cut electrical power for anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes to bring electrical demand in the region in line with supply. This is what is known as a rolling blackout. If that happens, students and staff may not be able to access the internet for classes during the school day. Should that occur, students will not be counted tardy or absent during that period of time.
