According to school officials, when the heat was turned on, there was some fuel in the line that sent a burnt oil smell throughout the school.

Fire crews are currently ventilating the building and there are no readings of carbon monoxide according to the post.

However, the school is letting students out at Noon today because of the odor.

This early dismissal is for SeDoMoCha students only.
