Escambia County School District Websites Go Down

September 27, 2021

The main Escambia County School District website was down for several hours Monday. Many, websites for individual schools and centers were also down.

The district is worked with the website host to correct the problem. The problem was reported before 10 a.m., and the sites were still down at 1 p.m. Service appeared to be restored when we checked about 1:45 p.m.

The normal district site can be accessed at:

The district established temporary website for use during the outage:

    @Oversight. Textbooks are expensive and are outdated quickly. They require lots of manpower to track and store. Many students don’t return textbooks. Copies aren’t available to replace them, so eventually there aren’t enough copies. If texts from class sets go missing, teachers are held responsible. Generally, online material can be updated and disseminated much more quickly and at MUCH less expense. With students having computers they have access to material wherever they are. And, a Chrome book is cheaper than the cost of textbooks per student. That said, most teachers have plans and materials for days when there isn’t computer access. If they don’t, their school admin needs to know why. The big issue is bandwidth.

    It appears to still be having a problem. I’m not able to log into the parent portal. Any word on when this will be resolved?

    Replace hard copy textbooks with online ones. What could possibly go wrong? LOL!

    Probably too many people logged on at the same time.

    As a District employee, I can tell you that this is not at all convenient. And it’s happening pretty often lately! I guess this is what happens when your service is provided by the lowest bidder.
