Camden Central School District -

Wednesday, 11/29/23

This afternoon, the District was made aware of an odor of natural gas in the vicinity of Camden High School and Camden Elementary School. Building Administrators were able to immediately determine that the odor was originating from outside the buildings. As a precautionary measure, a call was placed to 911, and the Camden Fire Department and Camden Police Department immediately responded.

It was promptly determined that students and staff were not in any danger, and the odor dissipated while the agencies were at the scene. With that understanding, the District was able to facilitate a safe, on time dismissal from both buildings.

The District would like to thank the Camden Fire Department and the Camden Police Department for their immediate response, as well as our Building Administrators and Building Safety Teams for following safety protocols. In addition, we are grateful to our Buildings and Grounds and Custodial staffs for their prompt attention and professionalism.
