It was determined that there was not a gas leak, but out of an abundance of caution Atmos was also brought in to thoroughly examine the pressure in all lines in the building. I want to assure you that all students and staff on the campus are safe and we have taken appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the building. The safety and security of our students and staff is always a top priority. Jennifer Johnson Superintendent, Rains ISD"
