SILVER CREEK Despite a Tuesday afternoon evacuation, Silver Creek Central Schools are planning to be open Wednesday after an accidental chlorine incident that occurred in the pool filtration area during routine maintenance.
In a notice to parents, the district reported Superintendent Todd Crandall was notified of the incident around 3:15 p.m. When the incident occurred, the area was isolated so that no individuals could move into the area, doors were closed on the ends of hallways, and an exterior door was opened to begin fresh air ventilation. After an immediate assessment of the situation, the district ordered the entire building to be evacuated outside to fresh air while contacting the Silver Creek Fire Department for assistance in the safe handling of the chlorine incident.
