A report of a second sick person was received by authorities and Western Salisbury Volunteer Fire Company responded to assist at the school.

“Initial air quality checks were performed with no obvious levels that were cause for concern,” authorities said in the news release.

The school was evacuated for the rest of the day as a precaution.
