Halifax West High School remains closed today.

The main power switch failed late last week and work is still underway to restore power to the building.

The Halifax Regional School Board promises a further update will be provided later today.

Beaver Bank-Monarch Drive Elementary, Lemarchant-St. Thomas Elementary and Sambro Elementary will be open today after some or all of the students were dismissed early yesterday because of heating-related issues.

Meanwhile, due to the icy conditions in the province, the Chignecto Regional School Board buses will only be running on paved roads today.
