Troy, Montana – Troy schools were forced to cancel classes on Thursday due to a power outage in the area. The outage affected both Troy High School and Troy Elementary School, leaving students and staff without electricity for the day.
The outage was caused by a problem with a substation in the area, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. Crews were working to restore power as quickly as possible, but there was no timetable for when it would be back up and running.
Troy School District Superintendent Jacob Francom expressed his disappointment at the situation, but emphasized the safety of students and staff as the top priority. He stated that the decision to cancel classes was made in the best interest of everyone involved.
Parents and community members were notified of the cancellation through the school’s messaging system, as well as on social media. Francom urged families to stay informed and check for updates regarding the status of classes for the following day.
Despite the inconvenience, students were able to make up missed work thanks to the district’s flexible scheduling policies. Teachers provided resources and assignments for students to complete at home while waiting for the power to be restored.
As the power outage continued into the evening, residents of Troy were advised to conserve energy and be prepared for potential extended outages. Crews worked around the clock to resolve the issue and restore power to the community as quickly as possible.
Troy schools are expected to reopen on Friday, pending the resolution of the power outage. The district will provide updates to families and staff as new information becomes available.
