NEW WAVERLY, Texas – Several students at New Waverly Intermediate were checked out by EMS and firefighters after they reported feeling sick, according to Waverly Independent School District.
About 40 students were in first-period gym class when they started to complain of an odor, officials said. The staff also smelled the odor.
Students described the odor as a “super bad” or “poop” smell and suffered from scratchy throats and nausea.
Superintendent Darol Hail said less than 10 students were taken by ambulance to local hospitals. He said “a couple” of students were taken to the hospital by their parents.
Firefighters ran carbon monoxide and gas detector tests. Both came back negative, Hail said.
Montgomery County officials bought a portable air quality test machine and those results also came back negative.
An electrician and plumbing company did not find anything as well.
Hail said there’s no evidence but it is possible a student set off some type of stink bomb as a prank.
