Lyman Memorial High School in Lebanon is closed for the day after around five gallons of heating oil leaked from a boiler in the building.
A custodian noticed the leak around 6:30 a.m. this morning, according to the superintendent and principal, and the fire department advised school officials to close the school for the day.
School was supposed to open at 7:30 a.m., but the school alerted parents around 6:40 a.m. about the decision to close school for the day and apologized for the late notice, but felt it was better than having the students come in.
The boiler has been fixed and the smell of oil is dissipating.
Crews from the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection have been called to clean up the spill, which is expected to be done later this morning.
