A key exception is Middletown Unified School District, which said it is remaining closed while an advisory evacuation order for the Kincade fire remains in place for the Cobb Mountain and Middletown areas and until power is restored.
As of Wednesday night, the district reported that power had not yet been restored in all areas of Hidden Valley Lake, Middletown and Cobb.
The district also reported that the football game between Middletown and Cloverdale High School has been rescheduled for Friday, Nov. 8, at Cloverdale High School.
Other schools remaining closed on Thursday include all of those in the Konocti Unified School District, Lake County International Charter School and the Lake County Office of Education’s Clearlake Community School, according to Rob Young of the Lake County Office of Education.
Young – along with posts on social media from the districts – confirmed that Lake County schools that will be open Thursday include Kelseyville Unified School District; Lakeport Unified School District, with its annual Halloween parade to go forward as scheduled downtown; the Lake County Office of Education’s Hance Community School; Lucerne Elementary School, which has a minimum day scheduled; and Upper Lake Unified School District.
Regarding the two community colleges, Mendocino College reported that power at its Ukiah campus, North County Center in Willits and Lake Center in Lakeport has been restored, and normal class schedules will resume at these three locations on Thursday.
Mendocino College said its Coast Center in Fort Bragg is still without power and classes scheduled before noon at that location on Thursday will not be held.
The Lake County Campus of Woodland Community College in Clearlake said Wednesday night that it also has power once again and so classes will be in session on Thursday.
The college asked students who have issues that prevent them from attending class to contact their instructors.
