Texas Middle School Probes Illness Reports After Staffer Sold Homemade Cookies

Police are testing the cookies for possible contaminants.

Overview

  • Several Owen Goodnight Middle School students, who ate cookies sold Tuesday by a staff member, later reported feeling unwell.
  • Four students were evaluated by the school nurse, Principal Joe Mitchell told families in a letter.
  • San Marcos police took the cookies for laboratory testing, and the district said it is cooperating with the investigation.
  • The district placed the employee on administrative leave and reminded staff that selling personal food to students is not allowed.
  • Parents reported mixed reactions, ranging from kids saying they did not feel right to others with no symptoms, so the cause remains undetermined pending test results.
