An investigation by multiple agencies, including police, reveals more information about what happened at the Alaska school that mistook sealant for milk.
this week because the product was accidentally delivered to a food-only warehouse and then mistaken for milk, school district officials said.
Twelve children and two adults each drank up to 3 ounces of the sealant. All 12 students were recovering Wednesday evening, and some had fully recovered, the district said. Of three schools that each received one box of floor sealant mistaken for milk, only one used it: Sitʼ Eeti Shaanáx̱ Glacier Valley Elementary School, the district said.The district has not named any of the individuals involved, but said one Nana Management Services worker poured the sealant as milk and other staffers put it on food trays.
A backup plan included bringing in milk by barge from Seattle, she said, but that delivery included the sealant, which the contractor believes was ordered by, or intended for, the district.
