Abraham Lincoln High School, Where President Obama Spoke Last Week, Closed Monday Due To Power Outage

Power Goes Out At Abraham Lincoln High School

A power outage has forced Abraham Lincoln High School to close today, one week after hosting President Barack Obama's job address.

In the President's speech last Tuesday highlighting the American Jobs Act, he discussed the need to modernize schools in rural and urban areas as well as incentivizing tax credits for hiring longterm unemployed workers.

Denver Public Schools told the Associated Press that the school day was only going to be delayed, but that they were unable to get the power outage fixed in time.

The source of the power outage is still under investigation, but the Denver Public Schools' communications office told the Huffington Post that the cause may be a blown transformer. Abraham Lincoln High School is the only Denver Public School reported without power today.
