There was an emergency evacuation at Mt Pulaski Grade School. ALL CHILDREN ARE SAFE AND EVACUATED. Please hold tight until further instructions are sent.

Dear MP CUSD 23 parents/guardians,
We have received confirmation from the City of Mt. Pulaski and local law enforcement that the gas leak has been capped and safely secured. Our buildings and grounds director has turned all the power and HVAC back on to the high school building and students have been transported back to the high school.
We greatly appreciate the quick and professional response of the city of Mt. Pulaski as well as everyone's patience and understanding as we navigated through this safety concern.
Sincerely,
Jason Spang
Superintendent of schools.

Dear MPCUSD #23 parents/guardians,
This morning at 9:35 a.m. we were made aware of a natural as leak at the new township building across from MPHS and we made the decision to evacuate students. Students were transported to MPGS and all students and staff are safe.
Law enforcement and city officials were immediately contacted and promptly responded to investigate as safety is our #1 priority. Once we receive a clear signal, we will assess and make decisions at that time. At this time, students are not being dismissed for the day.
Rest assured, we have detailed safety procedures and protocols for this moment and have followed those guidelines today.
We greatly appreciate the quick and professional response of the city of Mt. Pulaski and will continue to work with them through this matter.
Sincerely,
Jason Spang
Superintendent of Schools
