Fiber interruption forces multiple schools in the Weber school district to cancel the courses

Roy, Utah – a large -scale interruption that affects data networks, telecommunications and internet services forced to close several schools in the Weber school district on Wednesday.

The district suffered significant damages with fiber optic in Roy Tuesday night, which led to the interruption. Starting at 5:30, the damage has not yet been repaired. Due to interruptions, telecommunications, internet access and school security systems are not operational, causing officials to cancel the day at the affected schools.

The school was canceled in the following locations:

• Roy High
• Sandridge Jr. High
• Roy Jr. High
• Elementary freedom
• Roy Elementary
• Hooper elementary
• Municipal elementary

According to the district, a contractor on the spot was wrongly bored by multiple communication pipes and disturbed several data circuits. The district added that, even if the repairs of the fibers were completed in the morning, it would take a significant time to put all the school systems into operation.
