Fulshear, TX- A broken pipe in the ceilings of Fulshear High School led to a frightening and possibly dangerous scenario for students on Thursday.
A video shared with the KPRC 2 Help Desk shows water gushing from the ceilings and cascading onto desks in a classroom while students exit cautiously.
The communicator additionally noted that students remained at the school following the incident, even though they had been in contact with the rapidly flowing water that enveloped the premises.
The Lamar Consolidated Independent School District has issued the following statement:
We are aware of the rumors circulating regarding the recent infrastructure issue at Fulshear High School that occurred this morning. We want to clarify the situation and address the misinformation directly.
Earlier today, a water pipe in the 1300 hall burst, affecting approximately 12 classrooms. The pipe in question carried only domestic water, and reports of a toilet falling through the ceiling, along with fecal matter and urine pouring down, are completely inaccurate. Our maintenance team assessed the situation promptly and confirmed these facts.
Repairs are underway, and the campus was placed on a HOLD to ensure the safety and security of our students and staff as we resolved the issue. We appreciate the community’s understanding and patience as we work to maintain a safe learning environment for all.
