Classes at Battle Creek Elementary School in St. Paul were canceled Tuesday because of a broken heating system, according to St. Paul Public Schools spokeswoman Toya Stewart Downey.

All after-school and evening activities and programs are also canceled, including Discovery Club, according to the district's website.

According to Downey, the water main leading to the boiler and school froze, and the problem with the boiler was discovered around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday. Schools were already closed Monday due to the President's Day holiday.

Downey said a city crew will be out after 7 a.m. to begin work, but she expects it will take several hours to repair.
