Nearly 40 students and staff at the Lehigh Valley Academy Regional Charter School in Northampton County were taken to area hospitals Friday afternoon, officials said.
In an email just after 1 p.m., LVA CEO Susan Mauser told the school community that the high school building was being emptied"out of an abundance of caution due to a few staff members and students feeling unwell." Those who were not feeling well were being checked by emergency medical services, while the building was being examined, Mauser wrote.
