"The safety of students and school staff is of the utmost importance to San Diego County school districts," the Office of Education said on its website.
Several school districts were also affected on Tuesday, when power was first cut to more than 50,000 San Diego Gas & Electric to attempt to mitigate the threat of wildfires due to downed power lines.
The Public Safety Power Shut-Offs were still ongoing for about 30,000 people Wednesday afternoon. It was unclear how long the outages would last but a warning from the utility to more than 88,000 customers that their power could be cut remained in effect through Friday at noon, according to the utility's website. At its peak, more than 115,000 customers were warned of potential outages.
