It seems that a fake message is going around on Snapchat with a school closing announcement for Coldwater Schools. No decision has been made at this time, and we don't use Snapchat for announcements. If school will be closed, we will use the usual notifications.

Jefferson Elementary School was closed today due to an electrical situation overnight. A custodian smelled what could best be described as wire burning. The custodian called 911 and Coldwater Fire Department responded. There was no fire, but the smell was confirmed. This district’s maintenance department was sent to the building as there was no power at the time.
Jepson Electric sent an electrician who tested lines entering the building from the transformer. Three lines were found to be inoperable. In order to restore power to the building, the three lines needed to be replaced, and the estimated time for the work would not allow for us to open the building today.
As of 10:30 this morning, power has been restored and our maintenance department and technology director were testing throughout the building to ensure no damage.
A very special thanks to the custodian who contacted 911, Coldwater Fire Department, our maintenance crew and Jepson Electric for the quick response to get our building back up and running!
