BCC High School: Gas fumes into Hallway, Students Evacuated.

A message from BETHESDA-CHEVY CHASE HIGH

Hello B-CC Families,

At approximately 2pm today, we were notified that there were gas fumes coming from one of the construction machines located outside, adjacent to the basement. The smell from the gas remained in the E hallway, but did not enter the classrooms. As a precaution, we evacuated the following classrooms to the auditorium: E030 (Ms. Lizarazo), E031 (Mrs. Welton), E033 (Mr. Graham), and E034 (Mr. Herner). All students were released at 2:30 p.m. once the final bell rang.

We spoke in great detail with the lead construction foreman and he ensured us that the source of the gas smell was corrected and that he would do his best to ensure this does not happen in the future.

If you have further questions or concerns, please contact me at 240-740-0400 or sharif_k_robinson@mcpsmd.org

Best,

Sharif Robinson
