An investigation is underway in the Greater Johnstown School District in Pennsylvania after a kindergarten student distributed jello shots to classmates. The district revealed that the student provided “alcohol in the form of small jello cups” to three other students. Once staff became aware of the situation, immediate action was taken, including evaluating the students in the nurse’s office and calling EMS to transport them to a local hospital for precautionary measures. Parents were promptly notified and met the first responders at the hospital.
The origins of the alcoholic jello cups remain unclear, prompting the district to launch an inquiry and collaborate with authorities to ascertain how the student obtained them. The district emphasized its commitment to transparency, albeit constrained by student privacy laws, and classified the incident as an “isolated” occurrence. In response to the incident, counselors and support staff will be available to assist any students in processing the events.
The school district expressed gratitude to its staff, administration, school nurses, and police officers for their prompt response to the situation. The superintendent affirmed the district’s dedication to student well-being and highlighted that the health and safety of students are top priorities. The district assured families of its ongoing efforts to ensure student and staff safety while working closely with local authorities to resolve the matter.
Madeline Bartos, a digital web producer for CBS Pittsburgh since 2019, reported on this incident. The district is currently in possession of the jello cups and continues to cooperate with law enforcement in the investigation.
