Students at Alamo Middle School Hospitalized After Hazmat Scare

Three Alamo middle school students are in the hospital this afternoon after a hazardous materials scare in a science class, according to school district officials.

Hazardous materials crews were called to Stone Valley Middle School at 3001 Miranda Ave. around 11 a.m. after several students in a forensic science class reported not feeling well, San Ramon Valley Unified School District spokeswoman Elizabeth Graswich said.

The class was evacuated and three students were sent to hospitals “as a precaution,” Graswich said.

“Whenever it’s a science class, the fire district treats it as a hazmat incident,” Graswich said. Fire and hazardous materials crews did not find any hazardous materials in the classroom and all of the students involved were wearing protective gloves and goggles, the spokeswoman said.
