Guiteras evacuated after plumbing issue

Students were evacuated from Guiteras School Wednesday afternoon after a plumbing issue forced them to empty the building.

The Bristol Warren Regional School District announced the evacuation on its Facebook page Wednesday afternoon, noting no one was injured, but the bathrooms are unable to be used. The students walked to Mt. Hope High School, from where they will be dismissed at the usual time.

The school district's Facebook post reads:
