This story originally appeared onJUNEAU — On Tuesday, students at a Juneau summer school program. Twelve children and two adults drank the sealant in the incident at Sít’ Eetí Shaanáx – Glacier Valley School. Some of the children were back in school on Wednesday, but not Donna Baldwin’s grandson.
But he’s still dizzy and nauseated a day later. Baldwin says she wants to be sure there’s no permanent damage, so she’s taking him to Seattle Children’s Hospital for some follow-up tests. Superintendent Bridget Weiss says the reason it took so long to contact parents was that staff prioritized making sure the kids were safe. They called poison control and monitored the children before reaching out to parents.
