FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Several students at Stranahan High School in Fort Lauderdale were taken to a hospital Wednesday morning after consuming edibles and becoming ill, according to a spokesperson with Broward County Public Schools.

Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue said medics responded just after 9 a.m. to the school, located at 1800 SW Fifth Place.

BCPS said five students were transported to a nearby hospital out of an abundance of caution after appearing to have an adverse reaction to “gummies.”

The incident remains under investigation, and no additional details were immediately released.
