No school in Sparta due to cut fiber optic line
Students in the Sparta school district have the day off today due to a technical issue.
The district posted on its Facebook page that schools are closed on Tuesday due to a cut fiber optic line used for its phones and internet service.
Construction work unrelated to the district on Monday damaged the line.
Repairs wouldn’t be complete until after the start of the school day.
In the post, the district said,
“With no reliable communication, it is not safe to operate schools and the safety of our students and staff is our top priority.
We will provide updates as they are available, and evening activities will be determined Tuesday afternoon.”
Once the update is released, we’ll update this story.

I call BS! A great opportunity for teachers to teach and interact with students. Show ’em what you got! Do some actual instruction. Problem is, too much is relied upon the internet/computers, by teachers and students. Opportunity missed.
