PHOENIX — Five students at a Valley charter school were treated by Phoenix first responders Thursday after they allegedly ingested some sort of "gummy."
At about 2 p.m., paramedics were dispatched to a school near 67th and Southern avenues to evaluate a small group of students, the Phoenix Fire Department said.
One of the students, a 12-year-old girl, was transported to a local hospital as a precautionary measure and the four other students were sent home.
Phoenix fire said all the students appeared to be in stable condition.
In a letter sent home to parents, school officials said a student brought marijuana-edible gummies to the campus and handed them out to others.
The student no longer attends the charter school, the letter stated.
