Schools work to fix internet problems

Wrangell schools were continuing to experience internet connection problems as of Tuesday afternoon, after first alerting the public to the trouble in a Facebook post last Friday.

Internet and phone systems were affected, according to the post, as was Monday's school board meeting, which endured connection issues at several points through the meeting between board members.

According to information on the district's website, a router died.

"The primary router for Wrangell Public Schools died Friday and has left the district without Internet Service," a pop-up notice on the district's website said. "Currently, the technology department, along with its community partners are working to restore service."
