Round Rock ISD Closes One School Due To Power Outage

Students at Westwood High School in Round Rock have been let out early today, due to the frequency of power outages.

In a statement, the district said most schools are experiencing some kind of outages, but they were particularly bad at Westwood.

The pattern has been consistent through the morning and in the best interest of the students, the district chose to do an release early. Regular bus services will be made available to students, however; if students wish to remain on campus they may do so since all staff will remain until the end of the day.

Hospitals, Clinics Keep Appointments Despite Power Outages

Power generators kicked on as they were supposed to at Seton Medical Center Williamson and the Seton Edgar B. Davis Hospital, according to spokesperson Matilda Sanchez. Both hospitals are fully functioning.

Austin Regional Clinic, which operates eighteen clinics across Central Texas, has been affected by the rolling outages but is asking patients to keep their appointments.

"This has happened to us before," Austin Regional Clinic spokesperson Heidi Shalev told KUT News. "It's happened to us in the summertime. It's happened to us in the wintertime, so we do have protocols in place for when we do not have power how to practice with our patients." ( Read Leander ISD more... )
