3 Glendale elementary schools cancel class due to power outage

PHOENIX — Three Glendale elementary schools canceled class Wednesday due to a power outage brought on by “inclement weather.”

Bicentennial South School, William C. Jack Elementary School and Don Mensendick School were affected by the outage.

The Glendale Elementary School District said it was in contact with its utility provider, but workers have been unable to find the cause of the problem.

The district said parents could pick up students at any time, or the children could remain at school and still receive lunch.
