UPDATE, 8:46 AM: This morning, construction equipment in the Yucca Middle School parking lot caught fire. The fire was quickly contained, did not affect the school building itself. Out of an abundance of caution, students are being relocated to areas of the building where the odor is less noticeable, and efforts are underway to ventilate the school. We will continue to monitor conditions closely to ensure a safe and healthy learning environment for all students.
