Dear Families,

We've been notified that there is a natural gas leak near Madison/Powerline. Emergency crews are on site and are managing the situation. We are keeping students inside the school at CVI as a precautionary measure and have not been asked to evacuate at this time. The school is not in an area of concern at this time. To assist emergency personnel, please stay away from the Madison/Powerline area until it is fully cleared.

Thank you,

Heidi Sipe, Superintendent
