📣District 200 Phone Issues📣 District 200 is currently experiencing some connectivity issues with our phone system that may impact receiving inbound calls. At this time, it is unclear which buildings this is affecting as the issue is intermittent. Our phone service provider is actively working to fix this issue. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, and we hope to have an update for you very soon.

📣Final Internet Update📣 We are happy to share that the internet has been restored in all District 200 buildings as of approximately 7 p.m. tonight. We want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we worked through the phone and internet outages today.

📣Internet Outage Update as of 4:30 p.m.📣 All District 200 buildings are still without internet as of 4:30 p.m. on Monday, April 29. Late this afternoon, Comcast was able to identify that a fiber was physically cut, causing this internet outage, which has impacted many school districts across the state. Comcast is still trying to locate where the fiber was cut. In the meantime, Comcast is working to reroute connections to a new path to restore internet access. At this point, they have not given us an ETA on when we will have internet access. We will keep you updated as we learn more information.

📣Phone/Internet Outage Update as of 11:40 a.m.📣 The phones are back up and running at all District 200 buildings. At this time, the internet is still out across the District due to a regional Comcast outage. We will provide another update when the internet has been restored. We want to thank you for your patience and understanding.

📣IMPORTANT MESSAGE📣 All District 200 buildings are experiencing an internet outage. Additionally, about half of our buildings also don’t have phone service. These issues are due to a regional Comcast outage. We are working diligently to try to resolve these issues as soon as possible. We will provide an update as soon as we have one.
