"Ypsilanti school district spokeswoman Emma Jackson said the outage was discovered too late to notify parents before the start of school this morning." when is too late? in this world of technology of instant messages, cell phones, smart phones, etc? when does staff report? when did 'they' find out? i suppose the power could've went out as the kids were coming in too. just asking, don't jump on me man.

Have to agree with you dading. The DTE outage map says the power has been of since 10:16pm last night. Nobody noticed this by the time students showed up. What kind of people are teaching in Ypsi anyway.
