Last week, at a west suburban middle school, at least 12 students and one staff member unknowingly ingested a marijuana-laced substance.
According to Scott Harvey, District 303′s chief communications officer, on Friday, a student at Wredling Middle School in St. Charles allegedly distributed a chocolate substance to students and staff and dubbed it the “spicy chocolate challenge.”
According to Harvey, after an employee confiscated the substance, subsequent testing revealed it contained trace amounts of cannabis.
According to Harvey, 12 students and one staff member were identified as having consumed the substance.
The school nurse provided medical attention to each student, and their parents were contacted to pick them up.
Harvey stated that the affected employee was taken home by a ride-sharing service.
According to Harvey, the majority of those who had consumed the substance were only mildly impaired.
There were no injuries reported as a result of the incident.
