UPDATE: MHS to Resume Normal Schedule Tomorrow

Manalapan High School, which emanating from the school's boiler room where a concrete floor was being painted, will resume normal schedule tomorrow, according to a release recently distributed by the Freehold Regional High School District.

The administration responded quickly to the reported odors and the classes in close proximity to the boiler room were immediately moved to another location, the release said. Odors were not reported in other areas of the building.

"As a precaution, location Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and the appropriate Manalapan Township and Monmouth County officials were notified of the concerns," the release said. "As the safety of our students and staff is of paramount importance, the decision was made to close school early as a further precautionary measure."

The broadcast alert system notified all parents and guardians of students of the decision to close the school early and arrangements were made to transport the students home.

Multiple air quality assessments were made throughout the school building by Manalapan Township and Monmouth County officials, according to the release, which all indicated that there were no problems. These officials have cleared the high school for the reopening of the school tomorrow.
