Major water main break forces high school in Midlands to dismiss students early
Students are being dismissed early Tuesday following a major water main break at Camden High School.
All students will need to leave the high school by 10:30 a.m., the Kershaw County School District said on Twitter. The high school is near the intersection of U.S. 601 and Broad Street.
Dismissal began at 9 a.m. for students with their own vehicles and bus riders, while parent pickup followed at 9:15 a.m., according to the tweet.
Students who are not picked up by 10 a.m. will be relocated to the school’s auditorium, the school district said.
In spite of the early dismissal, this will not be a day off for students. It has switched to an eLearning Day, according to the school district, which said assignments will be posted by noon.
“We appreciate the cooperation of all with this change in plans,” the school district tweeted.
Information on the cause and size of the water main break, where it is located, and any damage it has caused was not made available.
