Xcel Energy is considering a major power shutoff across Boulder Valley and nearby districts this week, right as students gear up for finals and winter break. If high winds and fire risk force the outage, schools in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, and more counties could close unexpectedly—leaving families scrambling for backup plans. Districts are treating this like a snow day, but with the added challenge of possible days without power at home. Updates are coming Tuesday, but it’s a tense wait for students, parents, and staff. How would your family handle a sudden, days-long outage during such a crucial week? #Education #BoulderValley #PowerOutage
