ROSELAND - Students at Roseland Elementary will be staying home Monday due to an evacuation order that is still in place following a massive explosion Friday. 

Superintendent Melissa Stilley said the elementary school is inside the one-mile evacuation zone around Smitty's Supply Inc. in Roseland.

Stilley said all students who live in the evacuation zone will be excused from classes until the order is lifted. Displaced students can contact the district for assistance with uniforms and school supplies.

Stilley said the school district will put together a job fair for Smitty's Supply employees. The district is working to figure out how many people they can hire and will have more details soon. Stilley said she will update parents and families again on Monday.
