All clear after gas leak at East Ascension High on Thursday – The Advocate

The gas leak that forced an evacuation of students at East Ascension High in Gonzales on Thursday morning stemmed from a broken gas line now repaired that ran from the teacher's lounge to an upstairs restroom, school district officials said.

School district employees have repaired the broken pipe and worked with emergency officials to air out the building, said Jackie Tisdell, public information officer for the school system.

After the gas leak was discovered to be isolated to a specific area, before its repair, students were moved inside the school's Freshman Academy building and cafeteria/auditorium.

"We anticipate resuming normal operations at the school," Tisdell said.

Tisdell thanked the Gonzales Fire Department, Gonzales Police Department and other law enforcement officials who assisted for their quick response.
