I hope that this is the last network outage announcement that we’ll have for a while, but need to notify users of the ICCSD network that we will have an outage affecting all schools in the northwest quadrant of the district beginning Saturday morning at 7 AM and lasting for five to seven hours.
Affected schools include:
- Liberty High School
- Northwest Junior High
- North Central Junior High
- Borlaug Elementary
- Coralville Central Elementary
- Garner Elementary
- Kirkwood Elementary
- Penn Elementary
- Van Allen Elementary
- Wickham Elementary
This outage is due to a major fiber rerouting project that must be completed due to a property transaction by the City of Iowa City. In addition to the aforementioned schools, this outage will also affect portions of the networks of the City of Iowa City, Johnson County, the Iowa Department of Transportation, and The University of Iowa, to name a few entities.
While we were able to take steps during an earlier phase of this project to avoid outages for district facilities, that will be impossible during this phase of work. It is our hope that, upon completion, we will have no further network outages in the foreseeable future.
