KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Briarwood Elementary in Prairie Village suffered a power outage Tuesday morning due to a tree knocking down power lines in the neighborhood, according to the Shawnee Mission School District.
The outage happened at 5:00 a.m., well before school operations began.
The district says Briarwood was the only school that lost power.
The school says it was able to bring generators and lights in to help with essential functions. Some generators were already at the school by the time the school day began.
However, the school says they were able to have enough power for all essential operations of the day.
A school district spokesperson said at 12:36 p.m. that power was returning to the school.
