A widespread Microsoft 365 service disruption is affecting Outlook and email communications for businesses, organizations and other users, including the Natchitoches Parish School Board.

The disruption is impacting users globally and is not isolated to any single organization.

The Natchitoches Parish School Board issued a notice advising that all district employee email accounts are being affected by the service disruption.

As a result, school board employees may be unable to send or receive emails while the issue continues.

The disruption also affects other businesses and organizations that rely on Microsoft 365 and Outlook for daily email communications.

Residents needing to contact a Natchitoches Parish School Board employee are encouraged to call the appropriate school directly or contact the district’s Central Office at 318-352-2358.

Microsoft is working to restore services. No estimated time for full restoration was provided in the school board’s announcement.
