A widespread East Coast internet outage may cause delays for teachers and students accessing Arlington Public Schools systems during remote learning.
“Some users may be experiencing issues with their internet, or applications such as Canvas, Google Classroom or Teams,” APS spokesman Frank Bellavia tells ARLnow.
In an email to families, the school system said that those accessing services through [email protected] may experience delays, but those delays will vary by user.
A reported fiber optic cable cut in Brooklyn is at least one factor causing internet-related problems up and down the East Coast today.
“It’s not clear if that issue is responsible for the entire outage,” the Associated Press reported. “The internet service provider didn’t have any estimate when the problem spot would be fixed.”
