Students Rushed to ER After Mystery Illness; School Evacuated in Ohio
On Friday, approximately 30 students from Mapleton Middle School were hospitalized after reporting illness, exhibiting symptoms such as dizziness and tingling. Emergency Medical Services transported the students to various hospitals, prompting the evacuation of both the middle and high schools as a precautionary measure. Preliminary investigations ruled out criminal activity and carbon monoxide exposure, as the building was cleared by fire personnel and no natural gas leak was found. While the cause remains under investigation, school officials have reopened the buildings and are working to provide information to parents.
