An arson fire was set at a Carlsbad elementary school Wednesday, causing about $1 million in damage to a teacher’s work room, but it did not interfere with classes, police and school officials said.

Firefighters confined the blaze to one structure, the sergeant said, adding that damage to the structure and its content was estimated at $1 million. The cause was arson, he said.

The school was open Wednesday despite the early morning disturbance,
according to a school secretary.
