ORIGINAL STORY

Har-Ber High School students ate lunch in the football stadium today after evacuating because of a power outage, Springdale School District spokesman Rick Schaeffer said.

The power to the building went out at about 12:15 p.m., Schaeffer said. Students were evacuated because the building was dark. Lunch was delivered to students who wanted a meal, he said.

School was dismissed for the day around 1 p.m. Buses were on the way to pick up students.

Electrical and fire crews were at the school and found a small fire in an electrical box that was put out quickly. Schaeffer said the fire was caused by a short in the wiring.
