Letcher County School To Reopen
KENTUCKY....
Letcher County School Superintendent Anna Craft says Letcher County Central High School is safe for classes to resume Monday following an explosion which injured two maintenance workers. According to the state fire marshal, a leak was found in a propane tank about 20 feet behind the school building in Whitesburg. Propane settled into a 3-foot pit containing a sump pump. Maintenance workers unplugged the pump, creating a spark that ignited the propane.
