Southwest Independent School District announced two of its schools will be closed Monday because both campuses remain without electricity after Friday night storms knocked out power in the area.<\/p>\n
“Medio Creek Elementary and Sun Valley Elementary will NOT be open, all classes are canceled,” the school district said in a Facebook post<\/a> Sunday.<\/p>\n \u00a0All other Southwest ISD schools will be open, the post said.<\/p>\n A severe storm battered the San Antonio area late Friday, toppling trees and utility lines, causing widespread power outages and dumping heavy rain on streets.<\/p>\n Power outages forced many businesses to close over the weekend, as area residents cleaned up debris and assessed damage to property. As of 7 p.m. Sunday, about 8,400 CPS customers remained without power.<\/p>\n San Antonio officials said Sunday that two people appear to have died in the severe storm.<\/p>\n Amid the ongoing recovery efforts, normal operations are beginning to resume.<\/p>\n San Antonio ISD said it will open its schools on Monday.<\/p>\n “We look forward to welcoming students and staff back to school tomorrow, Monday, Aug. 31, for a day of learning and healthy meals,” a Sunday evening Facebook post said<\/a>.<\/p>\n
