In addition, the outage caused the air conditioning at Turner Elementary School to be “lost,” meaning it will also be closed, the release says.

“The schools are next to each other and share a chiller, which cools the schools,” the release reads.

District officials said that crews are working to make repairs, but the work will not be completed before the start of the school day on Thursday.
