There is an oil spill near Clark Pleasant Middle School and Grassy Creek Elementary but officials say there is no danger to the public.
Greenwood Fire Department let school officials know there is no danger to the public or students so students will remain in class until the end of the school day, said Rick Hightower, school spokesperson.
Worthsville Road remains closed at Sheek Road, from the area east of the roundabout to County Road 100 East, according to a graphic from Greenwood Fire.
In case the road is still closed when school lets about Clark-Pleasant transportation sent out messages to car riders with instructions on how to get to the schools for pick-up, Hightower said.
At the scene at around 2:20 p.m., a few people were onsite cleaning up the oil, with absorption agents working to soak it up.
