FROM JAMES EVANS, Rutherford County Schools:
We have been in contact with the Rutherford County sheriffâs office and the emergency management agency and have been advised there is no reason to close any schools at this time. The hazardous materials fire is not expected to affect any schools directly. However, there are some residential areas who have been told to shelter in their homes, and those parents should follow the instructions of the emergency personnel.
Bus routes will not be run at this time in those areas affected by the sheltering procedures, and as such, students should not be left at bus stops if your neighborhood has been instructed to take shelter.
The school district will release additional information, as needed, concerning schools or bus routes. But again, no schools are being closed at this time because of the hazardous materials fire in the Epps Mill Road area, under the recommendation of emergency response officials.
