Doyline High, Union Elementary Students Out On Friday

Webster Parish evacuated two schools shortly after the Camp Minden explosions, one sitting less than 300 yards from the ammunitions plant.
Students at Union Elementary School and Doyline High School will not have class Friday because they're close to the ammunition plant.
The students were evacuated to Lakeside High School Thursday morning.
Students could hear several explosions from Lakeside all the way in Sibley, about 10 miles away.
Webster Parish Superintendent Wayne Williams Junior says he got a call from the sheriff minutes after the explosions, saying the students must be evacuated.
Williams says about 600 students were loaded onto buses and taken to Lakeside High School.
Williams says their emergency plan worked well.
"It's a plan, you know it's there, you hope you never have to use it. It worked perfectly, the administrators did a great job, the school board office, the teachers were great. We had the kids out of there in 15 to 20 minutes." Williams said.
Webster Parish Deputies also had to move more than 400 prisoners from the Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center which sits on the Camp Minden property.
Authorities bused the prisoners to the Bossier Parish Detention Center near Plain Dealing and the Wade Correctional Center in Claiborne Parish.
