There was a fire suppression line break within the new Kenton Middle/High School building this (Tuesday) morning.

Water compromised at least 8 classrooms in that portion of the building.

As a result, Kenton Middle/High School will be closed tomorrow, (Wednesday January 21).

Kenton Elementary School should report at normal time.

Peterson Construction Company and Garmann Miller are still investigating the cause of the incident, and will make an announcement at a later date.
