According to the Ocoee Fire Department, three Ocoee Middle School students were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries following issues with the school's air conditioning system.
The three students are expected to be OK.
The school's cooling issues started around 7 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 9 and Orange County Public Schools have been working through early Tuesday to mitigate the issue.
"Some areas of the campus are getting cooler," said Michael Ollendorff OCPS media relations administrator. "Students will be relocated to those areas of campus and additional water breaks were provided."
In response to the cooling issues on the Ocoee campus, the Orange County Classroom Teachers Association posted this on its Facebook.
"Members can contact us," the post said. "We have contract language that guarantees safe and healthful working conditions."
