Eleven Aiken schools still without power after ice storm
Eleven Aiken County public schools remained without electricity late Wednesday afternoon after an ice storm disrupted services. The district closed for the third straight day as four of five attendance areas had limited or no power earlier. Deputy Superintendent Bill Gallman said the district faced instructional time losses, weighing forgiveness or make-up days, with President's Day and spring break existing as options. Hammond Hill Elementary drew concern due to a transformer issue.
