Students stayed home one day last week, and again yesterday, because of continuing problems with heating equipment at the county's combined school.
Technicians worked through the night to get the equipment up and running, and by mid afternoon it was back online.
Because four additional days have been built into the schedule, the unexpected vacation has not affected the school calendar.

David A Harrison Field was still full of fans when one UVa backer calmly stated - on Thursday we'll all eat Turkey - on Saturday we'll take care of the leftovers.
Speaking in football terms - the "LEFTOVERS" the UVa fan was referring to is what's left of Tech's once promising season. Three straight losses and a rash of injuries have left the Hokies beaten down.
((SHAWN WITTEN:))
Amazingly, the Hokies are favored by 7 points. This despite the fact that UVa is playing its best football of the season, and Tech is playing its worst.
UVa captain Billy McMullen expects Tech to have its act together by Saturday.

The Tech bandwagon has seen its share of defections in the past month from the fair weather fans - who've not been shy about ripping the players and the coaches.

The Hokies will definitely be without starting defensive tackle Kevin Lewis Saturday and for the rest of the season. He has opted for surgery to repair his torn pectoral muscle. He's even questionable for spring practice. There is some good news from the Tech training room.
