District news
Hillcrest upgrades address electrical risk threatening an entire wing
What happened
Morris School District replaced Hillcrest School’s boiler-room electrical panel and main-office sub-panel during summer 2026. The district says the work eliminated a single-point-of-failure risk that threatened an outage across an entire wing, replacing obsolete, unserviceable components with modern, code-compliant equipment.
Why it matters to families
The upgrade resolves a documented building-wide operational vulnerability and reduces the risk that a panel failure could disrupt service across a whole wing.
