An electrician working in the boiler room of Pau-Wa-Lu Middle School Tuesday morning received a serious electrical shock and was transported by helicopter to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno.
According to District Chief Financial Officer Holly Luna, the individual was not a district employee, but rather a subcontractor working on the school.
"The name is being withheld pending notification," she said.
County and state agencies were called to the scene of the incident a little after 9 a.m., including Occupational Safety & Health Administration officials.
"We're fully cooperating with all investigations," Luna said.
She declined to comment further on the incident or on the condition of the victim.
