Yesterday's storm prompted the closure of 90 public schools and at least nine private schools, education officials said.

Most schools will reopen today. Nine Leeward O'ahu schools, four Central O'ahu schools, three Maui schools and three public charter schools will remain closed today.

The Leeward schools — Wai'anae High, Wai'anae Intermediate, Nanakuli High & Intermediate, and Wai'anae, Leihoku, Ma'ili, Nanaikapono, Nanakuli and Honowai elementary schools — will remain closed because of an electrical power outage.

The Central schools — Wheeler, Hale Kula and Solomon elementaries and Wheeler Middle School — will be closed because of fallen trees, blocked roadways and a power outage.

The Maui schools — Lahainaluna High, Lahaina Intermediate and Princess Nahi'ena'ena Elementary — will be closed because water service is cut off.

The following charter schools will be closed: Kamaile and Ka Waihona in Leeward O'ahu and Kua O Ka La High and Intermediate on the Big Island. The state did not give a reason for their closure. Windward O'ahu was most affected yesterday, with all 31 regular public schools closed. O'ahu's Leeward and Central school districts and Maui County each had more than a dozen schools closed.

Private schools that were closed included 'Iolani School, Hawaii Baptist Academy, Sacred Hearts Academy, Academy of the Pacific, Holy Trinity School, Rainbow School, University Laboratory School, Le Jardin Academy and Seagull Schools.

Classes at Windward Community College and Maui Community College were canceled yesterday, while most other University of Hawai'i campuses were partially or fully operating.

As of yesterday evening, all campuses were expected to reopen today, said Mia Noguchi, a spokeswoman with the University of Hawai'i.

The vast majority of yesterday's closures were due to power outages caused by winds that snapped power lines, said Greg Knudsen, spokesman for the state Department of Education.

Closed roads also made schools inaccessible to some students, faculty and staff, he said.

"We haven't been hearing anything in the way of damage," Knudsen said. "We did hear one reference to roof damage at Maunaloa Elementary on Moloka'i."
