Due to a continued partial power outage, Maplewood Elementary and Maplewood Middle schools will be closed on Thursday.

“We are awaiting the arrival of a part to correct the issue, and we will be able to make the necessary repairs once it arrives tomorrow,” said Holly Holland, spokesperson for the Calcasieu Parish School Board. “We fully anticipate welcoming students back to campus on Friday, Sept. 17.”

Students at both schools were dismissed early Wednesday due to the partial power outage.
