PLAINSBORO — A minor chemical explosion occurred at around 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday on the second floor at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North.
Several students had to be decontaminated and the school was evacuated.
”They just evacuated the top floor. I did not think it was that much big of a deal, but I guess it was,” said Kris Bebenov, 18.
One student said buses had to pick up students on the side of the school where visitors park.
”I’m glad they had a plan in place and that they evacuated the kids if they thought it was unsafe,” said Amy Baldwin, a mother who was taking her 9-year-old daughter for tryouts and heard of what had happened.
The website of West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District said, “Thanks for your patience as students will be arriving home late today.”
Plainsboro Fire Company Chief Douglas Vorp will respond later.
