DAVENPORT, Wash. — The Davenport School District delayed the start of class on Thursday, Mar. 3 after a power outage left nearly all of Davenport in the dark overnight.
Power was restored before 7 a.m. but not before the district made the decision to delay the start of school. Avista reports the outage started around 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday night. On its website, Avista listed an issue with a substation as the reason for the outage.
The Davenport School District alerted parents that it would be starting school two-hours late. That means school will now start at 10 a.m.
