Mayde Creek Elementary School in Katy is temporarily closed due to a power outage caused by a damaged utility pole. Katy ISD has informed parents that students should stay home until power is restored, with absences during this time being excused, as reported by CW39.
Details about the damage to the utility pole have not been provided, but Katy ISD confirmed that repair efforts are ongoing. However, there is no estimated time for the power to be restored at the school, according to Click2Houston.
Bus services will continue without any changes to the morning and afternoon routes. Students who take the bus will be redirected to Mayde Creek High School's Performing Arts Center, where MCE staff will be available. Car riders can be dropped off at the high school's front entrance, and walkers will be transported from the elementary school to the Performing Arts Center.
The district has arranged for meal services and supervision for displaced students at the high school's Performing Arts Center, ensuring students have support throughout the day.
