CROSBY, Texas — Crosby Elementary School students were let out of class early Friday morning after the district said a transformer caught fire on a power pole near the school.
The district said all students and staff were safe and accounted for. Emergency crews needed to cut power to the school while working on repairs, so the students were moved down the street to the Crosby Middle School gym for pickup.
Crosby ISD said parents were contacted about student pickup and more information would be released about transportation for bus riders.
"We ask for your grace and patience," the district said in a Facebook post. "Again, all students and staff members are safe, and the building is safe."
