The Mercer Island School District experienced power outages at Islander Middle School, Lakeridge Elementary and Island Park Elementary Wednesday morning.

The outage occurred around 10:35 a.m., with power being restored at approximately 11 a.m., Mercer Island School District Superintendent Dr. Gary Plano released in a statement.

MISD spokesman Randy Bolerjack said the district attributed the outage to weather-related issues.
