TUSD is monitoring a gas leak near Kellond Elementary School this morning.

Students were initially evacuated from the east side school until it was determined that the leak is located in an alley behind the school.

A portion of the playground has been blocked off but classes have resumed.

While it is believed to be a small pressure point leak, TUSD officials are on scene with Southwest Gas.
