Clark County schools phone service restored after systemwide outage

Updated December 19, 2019 - 2:24 pm

Phones at the Clark County School District were back online Thursday after an outage that began in the morning and lasted through the afternoon.

CCSD experienced a systemwide failure of its phone system early Thursday, according to a message sent to parents.

“School safety is not an issue and CCSD school police are aware of the matter,” the message said.

It said schools were operating normally under end-of-semester testing schedules.

Phone service was restored by the district’s telecommunications provider, Cox Communications, around 1:30 p.m.

No details on the cause of the failure were immediately available.
