RIO RANCHO, N.M. — Students at Rio Rancho Elementary School won’t be back in the classroom until at least Tuesday because of a gas leak in the school.

Staff smelled a faint odor in some of the classrooms Thursday. Then, crews discovered a leak in the school’s gas line outside.

School administration sent students home early Thursday so they could start repairing the damaged line. The school closed throughout the day Friday and Monday.
