Several staff members were in the building when this incident occurred, with one member calling 911 upon noticing the smoke. There were no students in the school when this incident occurred, and all staff were evacuated safely.

CPS says school staff and administration are currently discussing plans for learning to occur in an alternate location until the school is deemed safe for classes to resume. The current plan would see students return to in-school classes after the Spring Break. The school gymnasium, however, will require extensive repair and will be closed until further notice.

Clearview officials say the estimated costs to address the smoke damage includes at least $500,000 and will see significant remediation in the gym where the fire occurred.

Clearview officials say they are thankful for the decisive action of their staff members and for the quick and professional response of the firefighters in the area.
