Power outage prompts Park University to cancel morning classes

Park University canceled Thursday morning classes on its Parkville campus because of a power outage, the university announced on Twitter.

In the message, the university said its offices also would be closed until noon. The university told staff and faculty to report at that time.

On its Park Alerts, the university said power to the Parkville Campus has been partially restored, but some areas remained without power.

Though power is expected to be fully restored Thursday, the uncertainty of the timing prompted the university to cancel classes that start before noon. Classes with that start at noon and later will be held as scheduled.

If the situation changes, the university plans to provide updates via email and text alerts.
