Bentworth Middle School Evacuated After Leak

Students at Bentworth Middle School were evacuated and then sent home Monday morning.  Superintendent Scott Martin says a haze discovered in the gymnasium was the result of a refrigerant leak.  He says students were transferred to the high school auditorium for reunification or to await a bus ride home.  No students became ill or were injured.  Martin says there did have some issues in regards to parent wanting their child to go home with someone who was not on their emergency list.  As a result, he says the district will hold a staff review to identify any issues when it comes to the district’s emergency response protocol.
