BISD Weather Update Updated: February 2, 2011 at 9:45 am

Local power companies are conducting “rolling blackouts” throughout Brownsville in an effort to curtail load. These short-term curtailments are necessary to keep the lights on region-wide. Rolling blackouts will continue throughout Wednesday and will impact BISD campuses and offices. The blackouts should not last longer than 30 minutes at a time. Please be patient and conserve electricity, whenever possible. Brownsville ISD administrators will continue to monitor the weather and road conditions. Information will be communicated to district stakeholders via the district’s website, www.bisd.us; KBSD TV, the district’s instructional television station (Cable Channel 17.17); local television and radio stations and newspapers. BISD will continue to issue weather updates periodically for the remainder of the week.
