The high school had some excitement today. I just thought I would give everyone the straight scoop to prevent wild rumors.
Lightening struck a utility pool behind the high school which knocked out part of the high school's electrical system. Right before lunch of course. Then a motor in the boiler room overheated causing a small electrical fire. The head custodian put it out immediately but we called the fire department anyway to make sure that it didn't start again. Meanwhile REMC was trying to find the problem. They switched all the power off for about 20 minutes to repair it, so we evacuated the building for awhile so students and staff didn't have to sit in the dark.
Everything was back to normal by 1:00 PM.
Another day at the office.

some students took advanage of the evacuation and left for the day telling parents that school let out early because of a power outage.. this is a great site.. just another way to monitor our kids... you may want to check your attendence records for afternoon classes.
IF that's the case then you have to wonder how these students were allowed to leave. I would assume when they were evacuated they were under the supervision of a teacher. If it's true not only should the students be disciplined but the teachers that were responsibile for them at the time.
I really wish parents were allowed to give feedback on how teachers and staff do their jobs.
