Classroom heating system malfunctions
Following is an email sent to Lincoln School parents on Thursday morning, Jan. 9 by Mary Sterling, Assistant Superintendent for the Lincoln Public Schools.
“I am contacting families of Lincoln School students to let you know about a minor incident that has been resolved. We experienced a malfunction with the heating system in Cheri Wing-Jones’s second grade classroom this morning. This caused some smoke in the heating unit. The system was shut down, the class was cleared immediately and the building was evacuated. Students and staff followed all fire drill procedures. The fire department responded quickly and determined that the building was fully safe for occupancy. There remains a slight odor in Cheri’s classroom and we have decided to relocate them to the library for the day. We expect the classroom to be fully functional tomorrow. All students are responding well. We will continue to monitor them throughout the day. Please contact Steve McKenna or Sharon Hobbs if you have any questions or concerns.”
