Incident Interrupts Classes At RHS For 2nd Consecutive Day

VERNON, CT — For the second day in a row, classes and activities at Rockville High School were interrupted by an incident inside the building.

On Wednesday morning two students became locked in a rest room and the RHS maintenance staff had to remove a door to get them out, RHS principal Jason Magao said. The work presented a temporary hazard in a hallway and the building was placed in a short "secure mode" as a result, he said.

No injuries were reported.

A day earlier, school officials had to call the fire department after an odor of gas was discovered. Per protocol, the school had to be evacuated.

The smell eventually dissipated and students returned to classes.

School officials are prohibited from further discussing the incidents by state law.
