Plans Set To Relocate Somerville Students

School Fire Cancels Classes Until Monday

SOMERVILLE (WBZ) ―

Students at the East Somerville Community School will be relocated to three other city school buildings beginning Monday, Dec. 17. Classes for those students have been canceled for the rest of this week.
The relocations are necessitated by a three-alarm fire that heavily damaged the school early Sunday.

The School Committee voted Monday to accept Superintendent Anthony Pierantozzi's recommendations, made with the goal of keeping all students with their current teachers and classmates.

Beginning Monday:

·        Kindergarten students will attend the Capuano Early Childhood Center.

·        Students in Grades 1,2,3,4 and 5, and Grade 6 students in the Unidos Program, will attend the Edgerly Education Center.

·        Students in Grades 6, 7 and 8, excluding those in the Unidos Program, will be placed in the Cummings School.

Sunday's fire destroyed one wing of the school and caused heavy damage elsewhere.

"There is extensive smoke and water damage throughout the entire building," fire Chief Kevin Kelleher said.

Investigators said Monday afternoon the fire was probably caused by an electrical problem in a classroom heater on the ground floor. 

No one was injured.
