Janesville School Evacuation

A strong odor of gas forced the evacuation of the school in Janesville on Monday morning. Children and staff were taken to Messiah Lutheran Church for about an hour and a half until the All Clear was given.

Superintendent BJ Meaney, describes the evacuation process.

The cause is still unclear but Meaney says some work had been done in the boiler room. A smell that emanated from south of the school may have played a part as well.
