Students have returned to classes at Las Vegas Academy after the school was evacuated because of an electrical odor Tuesday morning.

Firefighters were called to the performing arts high school, 315 S. Seventh St., about 7:45 a.m., according to the Las Vegas Fire Department’s Twitter account.

The odor, coming from an air-conditioning unit, produced no smoke or fire. The Fire Department will work with Clark County School District maintenance to correct the issue.

No injuries were reported, and students returned to class about 8:10 a.m.
