Bay Area school abruptly closes after copper theft cuts power
Briefly

Solano Widenmann Leadership Academy in Vallejo, Bay Area, has closed for at least one week due to the theft of copper wiring over the weekend, leading to a power outage. The incident was discovered by staff during a scheduled event. The school district indicated a willingness to relocate students if the closure extends beyond a week and is currently under investigation by local police. Previously reported copper theft incidences highlight a persistent problem in the area, disrupting educational activities and affecting families significantly.
Copper theft has been a growing problem in the Bay Area for years because the precious metal can be sold for a hefty profit.
We are deeply saddened and frustrated that this has happened again to one of our schools. These incidents disrupt learning and negatively impact our families.
