Harvey said students who ate the chocolate were sent to the school nurse, and their parents were contacted to pick them up. The staff member traveled home by a ride-share service.
"Most of the individuals who ingested the substance experienced or mild levels of impairment, and there were no injuries sustained," Harvey said in an email.School officials didn't immediately respond to questions.
