Classes were canceled at this Broward high school. Here’s why.

CORAL SPRINGS — School was shut down at Coral Glades High School in Coral Springs on Thursday morning after students arrived to campus to no electricity.

School starts at 7:40 a.m. and the first calls and texts to parents started about 7:09 a.m. that there was limited lights, and no air conditioning, phone or internet. Students were sent home at 9:30 a.m., district officials said.

John Sullivan, school district spokesman, said power went out Wednesday night. He said once officials realized it would take six to eight hours to correct the problem, they decided to send the students home. He said Friday morning that power was expected to be restored “later this evening.”

Students are not expected to have to make up the day, but that could change if there is additional loss of time, Sullivan said.

A spokesman for Florida Power & Light could not immediately comment on the cause of the outage or the estimated time for restoration.
