Internet access remains out at all Aurora Public Schools campuses and offices for a third day, and the school district will consider canceling school for the remainder of the week as it struggles to solve the problem.

The issue began early Monday morning, when staff detected "potential suspicious activity" on the district's network.

"As a precaution, we worked quickly to protect our systems, and at this time, we continue to work to bring back our systems and restore our technology infrastructure," wrote spokesperson Corey Christiansen.

Christiansen said the district has "safety and security measures in place" to ensure that schools have communication channels and continue to operate safely. But the district will consider canceling school for Thursday and Friday if the outage continues.

Christiansen said on Wednesday afternoon that the district would soon send an update. APS serves more than 38,000 students across 59 schools.
