Pinckney Community High School evacuated due to possible gas leak

PINCKNEY, Mich. – Pinckney Community High School was evacuated Wednesday morning due to a possible gas leak at the school. 

Students were outside on the athletic field bleachers while a crew from Consumers Energy investigated. A spokeswoman for Consumers Energy said everything was under control. She said it was not a gas leak or anything related to natural gas.

The school is now working to figure out what may have produced the strong odor. 

Meanwhile, students will be dismissed at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. 

A spokesperson for Pinckney Community Schools said parents can pick up students at that time. Busses will be running, too.
