It is called a power outage.
Why are you texting your children during the school day?
Because the power is out

Nah, I've taught (well, babysat) full days in the dark before. And my classroom had no windows. They passed out flashlights, lol. It was the middle of winter or I probably would have taken them outside.
This is from 2023. Maybe things are different now or we’re different before.
Update on Closed Schools with Partial Electrical Power
August 28, 2003
Explanation about the closure of schools with partial electricity:
Some schools closed today have partial electricity. However, fire and health safety code requirements, along with school system safety and security requirements, specify that a school's entire electrical system must be certified as operational before schools can be open for students.
Partial electrical power is not sufficient to open a school, even though certain portions of the building may have electricity. In addition, mechanical systems -- such as air conditioning, refrigeration, etc., that were disrupted or damaged by the power outages -- also have to be fixed once power is restored.
Please note that the timeline for restoring power is entirely dependent on the progress of the utility companies. Priority repair efforts, while including schools, also are directed at emergency services, medical facilities, nursing homes, the elderly, and others in a rank order of need.
Full electrical power will be restored as soon as possible, but some problems may not be fixed until Friday.
That's obviously when the students aren't already in the building.

Why would you text your kids at school? You must be a millennial.

During AP’s and not having any connection service as well is a bit troublesome. I am unable to text either one of my kids. Are neighborhoods nearby also without power? We don’t live close and I am at work.
