On Tuesday, Oct. 30, after a power pole caught fire at a PG&E substation on 30th Street and Union, an estimated 2,200 people were left without power.
The outage affected power at The Weill district office. According to the Maintenance and Operations Department Assistant Joyce Teague, classes were canceled for students while faculty with enough emergency lighting did what they could at their offices.
According to a press release from Vice Chancellor of Educational Services Greg Chamberlain, the district office's server room was running on generator power until electricity is restored, but the microwave system at the Kern County Superintendent of Schools is down. Therefore, all data was being routed through back-up lines and network and application performance will be "degraded."
