DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — DeKalb County Schools confirmed to Channel 2 Action News that the district spent Wednesday dealing with a network outage at its schools and offices, but the network was restored shortly after 4 p.m.
According to a district spokesman, the outage was “due to an external fiber optic circuit issue.”
While the issue was being actively worked on, an estimate on when the network would be back online was not immediately available.
“The technology team is working with a third-party vendor to troubleshoot and restore connectivity as soon as possible,” the district said in a statement.
In a message to Channel 2 Action News just after 4 p.m., the district confirmed their internet services had been brought back online across the system.
