Odor on A-Hall Results in Evacuation

During 4th period today, classrooms on A-Hall had to be evacuated due to an odor that quickly spread throughout the hall.  Students were moved back into the building within 10-15 minutes. The odor was from a weed killer that a maintenance worker was spraying in the vicinity of our HVAC system. As a precaution, all A-Hall classes were relocated to other areas of the building for the remainder of the school day.
