School was
dismissed early today due to another propane leak at
the high school. The maintenance crew acted quickly
to find the leak and began the process of repairing
it. The propane was turned off, and the students
were moved to the gymnasium. Staff members from
different departments pulled together to help with
lunch, then students were dismissed at 1:00. Thank
you to the Salem R80 maintenance and custodial crews
and Wofford Plumbing for working toward repairing
the line so quickly; food service for adjusting the
menu in order to provide lunch for the students;

to begin routes due to the early dismissal;

community members that adjusted their schedules to
pick-up students; and to the students for their
outstanding behavior during this situation.
