Ohio school evacuated, students feel lightheaded
(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 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. He said a few other students later complained of the same symptoms while medics were still at the scene.
Baird says fire officials could not determine what caused the symptoms. He says the school planned to have private contractors check the room and the building's heating and ventilation systems.
