Crews were dispatched and had restored most power just before 10 a.m
Upwards of 20,000 customers were without power during the peak of the outage

if voters give a thumbs up to SAISD Proposition A
it will be the second bond approved in 27 years for the district

Those who are over 65 or disabled and have an approved homestead exemption would not see an increase in their tax bill if the bond is approved
