Burke High Evacuated After Water Pipe Breaks

Burke High School students got to go home early Tuesday after a suspected broken water pipe caused flooding over the noon hour.                                                                  

The broken pipe triggered the fire alarms and prompted a precautionary evacuation out of "an abundance of caution." Parents were notified on the incident that happened at approximately 12:15 p.m.

School officials said the broken pipe was on the upstairs level of the school.  At 1:00 school officials decided to postpone classes for the rest of the day. 

There are no after school activities.  Burke is located near 120th and West Dodge
