Edison Elementary School will dismiss early Monday due to a power outage.

According to the St. Joseph School District, a tree fell on a power line near Edison Monday morning, causing a total loss of power to the building. The district has been notified by KCP&L that it could be 4-5 hours before power is restored.

The school made accommodations this morning to continue classes, provide breakfast and prepare lunches. However, the temperature in the building will begin to drop by midday due to the outage. As a result, Edison is dismissing students at noon Monday. The district said the early out is only impacting Edison.
