Peachland Elementary School is affected by an evacuation order in place as a result of a massive wildfire.

School District 23 Superintendent Hugh Gloster says the school will be closed Monday and staff will be reporting to Mount Boucherie Secondary School or the Hollywood Road Education Services facility.
