Principal's swift evacuation saves 900 students as Nepalese school is washed away by floods

In Nepal’s Trishuli Valley, Principal Rajendra Dawadi ordered an evacuation from Tribhuvan Trishuli Secondary School, saving about 900 students as floodwaters unleashed by a glacial burst washed the building away; two staff members remain missing. The 1,643-student school had around 900 on site that morning, and a bus carrying students had been turned back while a nearby bridge collapsed. The disaster has killed more than 950 people in Nepal and Tibet, with thousands missing, and destroyed or damaged numerous schools, disrupting education for tens of thousands. Dawadi deflects hero status, saying it was his duty and urging rebuilding and student counseling as classes resume.

Pinellas School Evacuated Amid Legionnaires' Disease Fears After Teacher's Death

A Florida school was evacuated after kindergarten teacher Katherine Pennington died from Legionnaires' disease, a severe form of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria. Concerns arose about the school's air conditioning system potentially spreading the bacteria. The school is conducting air quality tests and repairs, while an environmental company cleans the building. Pennington, who taught for 36 years, was remembered for her dedication to education. The school district is working with health officials to ensure safety measures are in place.

Hate Crimes and Threats Plague Oakland School Community

Chabot Elementary in Oakland, California, was evacuated after receiving a bomb threat containing racist undertones. The threat, which targeted the school's principal and another staff member, was emailed before the start of school. The incident follows a series of inflammatory social media posts and hateful emails that occurred after the school organized a playdate for BIPOC families. The school district is taking the incident seriously and has involved the FBI in the investigation. Chabot Elementary will reopen on Wednesday after police and K-9 dogs swept the campus. The community is on alert, and the Mayor's Office has committed to maintaining a police presence near the school for the rest of the week.
