Kalamazoo Public Schools experienced system-wide internet issues Wednesday.

Kalamazoo Public Schools spokeswoman Susan Coney said Wednesday afternoon that the district will hold class tomorrow despite internet problems affecting its buildings district-wide.

Staff were not able to log into email or access some other computer services, Coney confirmed.

Coney said the district was investigating the cause. She said she had no information on whether the outage was caused by a cybersecurity breach.
