Water Main Break Gets Some Dunwoody Students a Break From Class

DUNWOODY, GA -- About 1,400 students from Dunwoody High School went on a brief, unscripted field trip Monday after a water main break shut down classes, according to news reports.

The students were bussed to Peachtree Middle School for a few hours before returning, WGCL reports.

Pictures posted on social media showed workers from the DeKalb County Water Department trying to resolve the issue.

Only ninth- and 10th-graders were taken to another school, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Eleventh- and 12th-graders remained at the campus the whole time the water issue was being addressed.

The water was turned back on late in the afternoon, according to the newspaper.

The cause of the water main break was not found, WGCL reports.
