"Electricity Outages Plague US Schools: IT Equipment Overload to Blame A disturbing trend is emerging in the nation's K-12 school districts, with a staggering half experiencing multiple power outages every year. The root cause of these disruptions lies in the haphazard storage of IT equipment in cramped, makeshift closets and basements. These makeshift facilities, often designed to house outdated technology, are being overwhelmed by the increasing demands of modern learning, putting students and teachers at risk of lost instructional time and compromised academic progress. As schools continue to integrate more digital tools and technologies into their curricula, it's clear that a more sustainable and efficient approach to IT infrastructure is urgently needed."
