The Kern High School District is closely monitoring the potential of a Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) in Kern County due to forecasted high winds and low humidity.
We have attempted to get more specific information from PG&E, but are being told that any of our school sites could be impacted over the next 36 to 48 hours – or may not be impacted at all.
If the District and/or a school site determines it is necessary to release students for the day due to a power outage, the following will occur:
• An all-call notification will be sent to all parents
• Bus routes will be activated
• Nutrition services will provide a cold lunch for students who are on campus if the outage occurs during the lunch period
• Bus routes will be activated
• Nutrition services will provide a cold lunch for students who are on campus if the outage occurs during the lunch period
