Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it is our plan to welcome students back Monday. We won't have students in that area (where the fire occurred) for this entire school year. |
It was of electrical origin. It started at a computer workstation. It's a tragic situation, but it was ruled an accidental, electrical fire. The fire marshal was able to conclusively locate where in the class it was started. |
They won't come Monday. We're not really sure about the timeline at this point. We just want to get them back to school as soon as possible. |
We declared it an emergency situation here at Edward Bell so we can just work as quickly as possible. That's the biggest thing is getting (students) back to school. |
We have had inquiries from different organizations that want to help as far as school supplies. Teachers are in the process of compiling a list of needs. We're just working to take inventory right now, and we're also looking at the needs of our students. You know a lot of them had their supplies at the school. |
We have not made a decision yet when they will be made up. We'll be looking into that and getting input from the board. |
