Some Lindale ISD campuses evacuated due to gas leak

LINDALE — Lindale ISD evacuated several campuses due to a gas leak Thursday. By mid-afternoon, LISD said in in a Facebook statement that the gas leak was stopped. But streets one block in every direction from the intersection of College and Braziel were due remain shut down until the gas company advises it’s safe. According to our news partner KETK, College Street Elementary, Lindale Early Childhood Center, and Alternate Education Program students and staff were all evacuated to the LISD Performing Arts Center. Buses were taking people to and from the PAC. School hours remained normal. LISD reported earlier Thursday morning that the city hit a gas line near College Street, which prompted two nearby campuses to keep all students and staff indoors. They then decided to evacuate the campuses to the PAC.
