Aptos – Aptos High School has canceled classes for Wednesday due to an ongoing power outage that began over the weekend. The incident, which occurred on Saturday, resulted in the school operating on generators since Monday. As of now, it remains unclear how long repairs will take or when students can return to the classroom.

The power outage at the school has been linked to the school’s own equipment, as confirmed by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) crews who responded to the situation. While PG&E crews were able to restore power to other customers, the outage at Aptos High School was isolated as it was unrelated to PG&E’s system. Jeremy Howard, a regional senior manager at PG&E, indicated that the school outage only affected a small number of customers.

In response to the situation, the Pajaro Valley Unified School District has called in contractors to manage repairs on the school’s faulty equipment. PG&E has offered assistance to the school, which the district has accepted. However, staff had anticipated the arrival of PG&E crews to help re-energize the system and resolve the issue promptly.
