The closure, however, does not impact any other schools in the district.
"Transportation to the Oaks, nonpublic schools and other outside programs will proceed normally for those families," the post reads. "Students who attend the Experience Program and Transition to Work Program will report to school as normal due to those programs taking place in a separate building."
The outage issues are still being investigated, the district said in the post. Families can expect further updates Thursday on repair progress and any necessary changes for Friday's schedule.

Stepping up to help: Area districts providing school supplies this year
Some area schools have made the decision to provide their students all school supplies for the 2025-2026 school year. Veribest ISD, a school nearly 12 miles from San Angelo, announced the district has purchased all school supplies for prekindergarten-12th grade for this school year due to the recent flooding. The July 4 flooding severely impacted the area, damaging homes and businesses and displacing residents. "We only ask that students bring their own backpacks," according to a Facebook post from the district. Reagan County ISD in Big Lake also announced it would provide all school supplies for all grades this year. "Parents only need provide a backpack, and lunchbox (if preferred) and/or water bottle (if preferred)," a Facebook post from the district stated.

What makes coastal California's Crescent City so vulnerable to tsunamis?
Crescent City, California, residents are breathing a sigh of relief after its latest tsunami warning was downgraded to an advisory. Crescent City, a redwood-tree lined coastal California community, is known as the tsunami capital of the country. The city has experienced more than three-dozen tsunamis in the last century. Once again, tsunami waves ‒ luckily modest this time ‒ reached the town, peaking as high as 4 feet near city shores before dawn on July 30, according to the National Weather Service. The waves came just hours after an 8.8-magnitude earthquake, one of the strongest tremblors in recorded history, struck off Russia's east coast, prompting tsunami waves in Hawaii and along the West Coast. "It was a long night for all of us. We were fortunate this time," Crescent City Manager Eric Weir said during a morning briefing on July 30. "There was significant tsunami surges. We're still dealing with those now, but it did stay within the banks." The July 29 tsunami warning was initially expected to last as long as 30 hours in Crescent City, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Weir said the waves caused significant damage to a harbor dock as it lifted decking off the pilings, but the rest of the city was spared. "Downtown is at a high enough elevation that it is open," Weir said, about an hour before the tsunami warning was downgraded to an "advisory" for Crescent City, one of the last West Coast communities considered still at risk. City officials still advised locals to stay away from the harbor, beaches and waterways due to continued wave activity. "Conditions have started to improve," city officials said in a Facebook post. "But the ocean is still angry." Coastal calm: Tsunami evacuation orders lifted in Hawaii, threat to West Coast eases Crescent City's deadly tsunami history What makes Crescent City, a town of about 6,700 residents located about 25 miles south of the Oregon border, so tsunami-prone? Crescent City is vulnerable because it is located near the southern end of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a major fault line capable of producing dangerous tsunamis and intense earthquakes, according to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network. Several published studies also indicate that a Cascadia Subduction Zone tsunami can cause severe damage and inland flooding. In 2011, the earthquake in Japan spurred waves of more than 8 feet, destroying Crescent City's harbor. "The water went out to a low tide, but each wave was coming back in and it was getting higher and higher," Max Blair, 79, a volunteer at the Del Norte Historical Society located near downtown Crescent City, recalled to USA TODAY on July 30. "The harbor was a whole different story." One man died during the incident as the harbor docks were smashed and dozens of boats sank, causing an estimated $50 million in damage. The harbor was eventually rebuilt as the first "tsunami resistant port" on the West Coast. Another deadly tsunami struck Crescent City in 1964, triggered by a massive earthquake in Alaska, killing 11 people and injuring 35 others. The tsunami destroyed nearly 300 buildings and homes, causing between $11 million and $16 million in damages. The incident is considered one of the most devastating tsunamis in U.S. history. "I've heard and read about it," said Blair who's lived in Crescent City for more than 30 years. "I hope we never get to experience anything like that one."

Texas floods: 911 audio shows confusion and distress
Audio recordings obtained by ABC News reveal, for the first time, some of the desperate moments faced by Hill Country residents as floodwaters raged across Texas on the Fourth of July. "We really need somebody," a caller told a dispatcher. "My boyfriend is currently stuck in a tree out on the current." Another resident said that a man was stuck "in the middle of the river." MORE: Kerr County officials waited 90 minutes to send emergency alert after requested, dispatch audio shows These calls are among the more than 100 dispatch audio and 911 recordings from a Texas county -- downriver from hard-hit Kerrville -- released by the City of Boerne in response to an ABC News public records request. ABC News has also requested 911 calls and dispatcher audio from Kerr County. The county has not responded to the request. Boerne handles emergency communications in Kendall County, which borders Kerr County and was also affected by the tragic flooding. Some of the recordings show apparent confusion and distress among some Kendall County residents about evacuation orders and road closures during the Fourth of July flooding. "Do I go in my pajamas? Do I take a shower first? How much time do I have?" one caller asked a dispatcher after being warned by someone patrolling her street to be prepared to evacuate. MORE: Texas flooding victims: From young campers to a dad saving his family, what we know about the lives lost Some callers said they had heard about evacuations from social media sites, like YouTube and Facebook, but weren't sure if the orders applied to their area. In one call, a woman with a baby told the 911 operator that her house was flooding. "We can't go anywhere," she said. More than 130 people died in the July 4 flooding -- with more than 100 of the deaths occurring in Kerr County. There were nine deaths reported in Kendall County. This month, officials said the number of people believed to be missing dropped from nearly 100 to three. The recordings also provide insight into Kendall County's police response and communications with other counties. "We have located a body," a Boerne Police Department dispatcher told a Kerr County law enforcement representative. "It's definitely going to be a drowned victim or a flood victim." MORE: Camp Mystic began evacuating 45 minutes after 'life-threatening flash flooding' alert: Spokesperson In another recording, a caller stated that earlier in the day, he had been just a foot away from a body on his land. The dispatcher told him that first responders were having trouble getting to his property since a road was impassable. In addition, the recordings show how emergency orders were passed from one local agency to another -- and sometimes appeared to meet resistance. In a call early on July 4, a Boerne dispatcher told another first responder that the Comfort Volunteer Fire Department in Kendall County had relayed a warning from Kerr County that the water was rising and would reach Boerne in four to six hours. "They're requesting -- no, they're stating -- that we need to close all crossings," the dispatcher said. "What? What crossings?" the other first responder on the line asked in an agitated tone. He sighed and added, "With what?" About 20 minutes later, a first responder asked Boerne Police: "Did y'all open up a call sheet for that b------- water flood stuff?" Then he clarified, "We're not on it, right?" Even as the initial rescue operations were unfolding, first responders and 911 dispatchers discussed problems with county emergency communications and response coordination. MORE: Number of missing in Texas floods drops from nearly 100 to 3 in hard-hit county In one call, a dispatcher noted that the phone line for the Guadalupe River State Park was down. In another, a first responder called 911 to raise concerns with the local emergency operations center call sheets. "We updated and gave direction a couple of times, and it still was done a different … way by every time somebody different got on there," the first responder said. He suggested merging call sheets to better organize and unify the emergency response, to which the dispatcher replied: "That's going to be a pain." "Maybe we can go through this in the future, how we can do it differently," the first responder said at the end of the call, and the dispatcher agreed. "We all have something to bring for the after-action."
