ATTENTION - Important Message from Angleton ISD
Tuesday, October 1, 2024

This morning before students arrived at the Central Elementary School at approximately 7:20, the City of Angleton Fire Department was dispatched to Central due to a fire alarm that was going off. Angleton ISD maintenance staff arrived as well at the same time. A small fire was found in an exterior mechanical room due to an air conditioning equipment malfunction. The fire was quickly extinguished by AISD personnel with a fire extinguisher that was in the mechanical room. 

Students or staff were never in danger, and no injuries occurred. There was smoke that entered the building, and it was quickly cleared. No odor remains in the building.

Again, no students were in the building during the fire. Buses arrived at regular time and were unloaded as normal, but students were directed to the track area of the campus until the City of Angleton Fire Department cleared the building and deemed it safe to enter. The building was allowed to open, and students and staff were allowed back into the building at approximately 7:45 a.m.

As a result of the fire, several classrooms will be without air conditioning until the system is repaired. Those classrooms will be moved to other parts of the building while the air conditioning system is restored.

Classes at Central will continue as scheduled. We will continue to update you as information is made available.

Please contact the campus if you have any questions.
