A sewage line backup Monday morning at Rosemount High School forced officials to call off classes for the rest of the day and send students home.
Sewage line backup leads to early closure at Rosemount High School
Students were sent home at 10:30 a.m. after school officials said they could not provide a healthy learning environment.
"An issue with a sewer line requires us to close the building," Principal Pete Robackwrote in an email to parents.
Students in the south metro high school were dismissed about 10:30 a.m. after the custodial team and district leadership determined "we could not provide a healthy learning environment for the remainder of the day," Roback said.
The district called in bus drivers to take students home.
Students were told that after-school activities were canceled unless they were otherwise notified by a coach or adviser, the email said.
No other details were immediately released. Classes are expected to resume Tuesday, Roback said.
