Ohio school evacuated, students feel lightheaded
NEW RICHMOND, Ohio (AP) — A fire official in southwest Ohio says a high school was evacuated and five students were taken to hospitals after about 13 complained of feeling lightheaded.
The conditions of the New Richmond High School students taken to hospitals were not immediately available. New Richmond Fire Chief Mark Baird says eight additional students were treated at the scene.
Superintendent Tom Durbin of the New Richmond Exempted Village School District said about four students in a music classroom became lightheaded Monday afternoon and a few other students later complained of the same symptoms.
Baird says fire officials could not determine a cause.
Durbin says the music room is being checked thoroughly and the students will be moved to another room until the cause of the symptoms is found.
