Falls Elementary School evacuated due to electrical issue

An electrical issue is to blame for an early dismissal at Falls Elementary School.

Students and staff were forced to leave their classrooms on Thursday following the smell of smoke and a power outage that impacted a specific part of the building.

School officials on Facebook stated there was no fire, but students and staff went home without their belongings.

After-school activities, programming and events were also cancelled.

Classes resumed on Friday.
