LVJUSD Phones Back Online Across Campuses, District Office

LIVERMORE, CA — Phones throughout the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District went down Tuesday morning, but service was quickly restored.

The nearly 2-hour outage was first reported around 11 a.m.

"If you need to reach anyone at your child's school or the District Office, please send an email, as our phones are currently down," a message sent Tuesday morning to LVJUSD families read.

"We are in touch with our phone provider, AT&T, who ensures us they are working diligently to have our service restored as soon as possible," the message continued.

The district apologized for the inconvenience and said an update would be sent to LVJUSD families once service was restored.

At 12:47 p.m. Tuesday, the district announced phone service was back online.

District spokeswoman Philomena Rambo said the problem was on AT&T's end.

The district's computers were not impacted, Rambo said.

The outage comes on the heels of an Aug. 27 cyber attack at Livermore City Hall that took down phones and email at the government headquarters. The problems at city hall persisted for several weeks.
