School was cancelled and evacuated on Friday at the Saccarappa School in Westbrook due to a gas leak. 

Students were bused to the Westbrook Middle School where they awaited pickup from their parents.

The fire department stopped the gas leak around 9:30 a.m. and said that recent snow plowing is likely the cause of damage to a small test port on the gas riser.
