A carbon monoxide detector at Evansville High School does it’s job.

The alarm sounded in the technical education area of the school just before 1:30 Tuesday afternoon.

District Administrator Jerry Roth says students and staff were evacuated to a gymnasium on the opposite side of the school that operates on a separate air handling system.

A short time later students with their own transportation were dismissed, and the rest were bussed to Theodore Robinson Intermediate School.

The Evansville Fire Department continues to investigate the cause of the carbon monoxide.
