Adair Schools host Cumberland HS students in evacuation School officials say extraordinary work done by Custodia Tony Durban, Assistant Principal Donna Owens, and Adair County Transportation Director David Jones making visitor welcome and as comfortable as possible By Ed Waggener There was no school in Adair County yesterday, but there was plenty of excitement, as High School students at Cumberland County High School, which was in session, were evacuated when fire from a hardware store on the southeast side of Burkesville created smoke and possibly hazardous fumes fillled the Cumberland River valley town.

Instead, Adair County Superintendent Alan W. Reed said, they asked Adair County to be a place of refuge. "We were more than happy to pitch in," he said. "To my knowledge," he said, "there were approximately 500 students and faculty who came to Adair County Middle School." Reed said that everybody had high praise for the preparation made by ACMS custodian Tony Durban, Assistant Principal Donna Owens, and Adair County Transportation Director David Jones. "They scrambled and moved seats and tables into place for the high school students and made them feel at home." It was a short stay. The Cumberland Countians were only in Columbia for about one and one-half hours, according to Reed. "They were really a well behaved group, and it was an absolute pleasure to have them here. "And it was great to get a Thank You from Superintendent Glen Murphy thanking us for hosting the group in the emergency. Supt. Reed added, "Of course if the tables were turned, they would do the same thing for us," Supt. Reed said. This story was posted on 2013-02-19 14:05:08
