Gas Leak Causes Jr./Sr. High School to be Dismissed Early Monday

The gas lines had to be shut to the cafeteria so lunch cannot be served

Students in will be dismissed at 12:16 p.m. Monday because a gas leak has caused the lines to be shut to the cafeteria. Since lunch cannot be served, state law mandates the school to close early.

Superintendent Geoffrey Zoeller sent a notice to parents Monday morning informing them of the early closure. He said PSE&G informed him about the leak and that staff and students were never in danger.

All other district schools are operating on a normal school day schedule.
