Lights On At Bradley Hills Elementary
Power has been restored at the school following Hurricane Irene.
Update, 9p.m.: Power has been restored at Bradley Hills Elementary and the school will open Tuesday morning, according to MCPS.
Harmony Hills Elementary has also been restored. Woodlin Elementary is the only remaining school without power.
Original Post: Bradley Hills Elementary School, which remained closed Monday as most county schools re-opened for the year, is still without power following Hurricane Irene.
Montgomery County Public Schools will announce whether the school will open tomorrow by 6a.m. Tuesday. It's among three county schools still in the dark, along with Woodlin Elementary and Harmony Hills Elementary.
Chevy Chase Elementary, Highland View Elementary, Piney Branch Elementary and Francis Scott Key Middle schools were closed today because of a lack of power, but have been restored and will re-open Tuesday.
Monday, a Pepco damage assessment team was onsite at the school, and a sign hung at the entrance reading "School Closed Today."
Stay tuned to Patch for updates.

What's really strange is that if you go to the PEPCO outage map, while there used to be one of those blue triangles on the area of the school indicating that they were working on it and even saying that the estimated restoration date was 7pm on September 1 (that's Thursday!!), the triangle isn't there anymore. Does this mean there is a delay in communicating the fact that power is back on or just an error on the map. If the latter, what good is the map?
