LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Clark County School District warned that transportation for students may be late on Friday morning due to an ongoing "interruption of its internet services."
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, CCSD revealed that the internet interruption is affecting "District operations, including internet, email, and intermittent phone service."
The post continues that classes will continue as scheduled, though "some transportation services may be delayed."

Classes will continue as scheduled, however, some transportation services may be delayed.
This interruption comes after Clark County School District was targeted by a cybersecurity threat earlier this week. In an email sent to families Monday night, CCSD said hackers accessed personal information for some students, parents, and employees.
CCSD says identifying and notifying everyone impacted by this hack will likely take several weeks, but no identity theft cases have been reported.
In an email to parents and guardians, CCSD said, "The District is working with Cox Communications on restoring service and will provide updates as additional information becomes available."
The district provided an update around noon that crews are "working to correct the issue, however, repairs are expected to be ongoing through the day."

Cox Communications told Channel 13 they do not have information on the number of customers impacted by the outage but shared the following statement.
"We have identified construction-related damage to our fiber conduit in Las Vegas," Cox said. "All resources are dedicated to restoring services as soon as possible to those impacted; however, repairs may be ongoing throughout the day."
