Students at a Hialeah Gardens charter school needed emergency medical treatment Wednesday after they reported being made sick from food brought in by a student, according to a Florida Charter School Alliance spokesperson.

Staff at Mater Academy Charter Middle/High called emergency services, and students are receiving medical treatment, spokesperson Lynn Norman-Teck said by email.

Norman-Teck said she did not have specific information about the gender, age or number of students affected.

“The situation is being monitored closely, and the safety and well-being of our students remain our top priority,” Norman-Teck said.

The school is located at 7901 NW 103rd St.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue did not immediately respond Wednesday evening to a request for comment.
