HOPEWELL, Va. (WRIC) — Woodlawn Learning Center in Hopewell is closed Monday due to an "unexpected" power outage.
Hopewell City Public Schools (HCPS) took to Facebook to share that the Woodlawn Learning Center is closed on Monday, Nov. 9, due to an outage affecting the electrical power supply to
part of the school building. This has made it necessary to close school for the day to "ensure the safety and well-being of our students and staff," the school division said.
"We apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience this unexpected closure may cause," school officials said.
Officials hope that the power will be fully restored so they can open on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
