Claremont Unified School District phone lines

have been down since 7 a.m. Wednesday Jan. 7, said Linda Hunt, administrative assistant to school district superintendent David Cash.

While calls can be placed out, there is problems calling into the school district/individual schools when a voice mail (instead of a person) is activated.

Verizon, which maintains the phone system, has failed to get the system's problems fixed since then but everything is scheduled to be resolved after a hard drive part is flown and installed Friday Jan. 9, Hunt said.
