Jemison Schools Send Students Home Early Due to Power Outage

0:00In Birmingham, it's March 2nd, and here's what is going on. Schools in Jimisin, Alabama are sending students home early on Monday because of a power outage hitting all four schools in the district. A traffic accident caused the blackout, along with issues at the septic system, according to superintendent Corey Clements. Buses will start rolling out at 9.30 a.m., while kids picked up by car leaving right away to get everyone home safe. This means a short school day for students, with classes cut short to handle the problems. Officials expect power to stay off until sometime after noon, so families should plan accordingly for the rest of the day. The Daily News Now is presented by a sponsor, linked in the description.
