B-R School was operating on low voltage for about 30 minutes Thursday morning. This affected the computers and the cooling system. When the power came back on, some of the desktop computers in the computer lab started smoking. We are checking them to be sure they are not damaged.
The low voltage also caused a problem with the school cooling system. The air shut down and the high school classrooms got warm by the end of the day. A mechanic arrived just before the end of the day and resolved the problem before the volleyball game last night.
So far there is no reported damage to any equipment, just the cost of the mechanic and a few sweaty students and staff.
An afternoon like that makes us appreciate our air conditioning.
