Potential Gas Leak Prompts Early Dismissal at Douglas High School in Box Elder Tuesday
Douglas High School students in Box Elder, South Dakota, were dismissed early Tuesday after a potential gas leak prompted an evacuation to the school stadium. The school district confirmed that gas service has been shut off and there is no safety threat to other school buildings or the community. Bus riders will wait at Douglas Middle School, while parents picking up students should go to Vandenberg Elementary School at 561 Briggs Street. The early dismissal applies only to Douglas High School; other district buildings are unaffected.
