Faulty Fire Alarm Causes Early Morning Confusion

Just prior to the beginning of first period Thursday, the fire alarm was unexpectedly activated.

Students and staff stood outside until the all clear was give around 7:45 a.m.

Today was the fourth day the alarm was unexpectedly activated. The alarm also left students and staffed puzzled on 10/21, 10/8 and 9/17. The alarm was unexpectedly activated multiple times on those days due to a "faulty smoke detector head." An e-mail to teachers Thursday morning again blamed the evacuation on a "faulty smoke detector head."

The Matador will have more on this story as details become available.
