SD73 says air quality not a factor after two students fainted in Valleyview Secondary wood shop
KAMLOOPS — An investigation by the Kamloops-Thompson School District (SD73) into air quality in the wood shop at Valleyview Secondary School has concluded air quality levels are within acceptable parameters.
The probe follows an incident the morning of Sept. 18 when two students felt faint in the wood shop and passed out.
“They were receiving instruction/demonstations from their teacher. They were all standing around, observing the demonstration because the first couple of weeks they spend all their time learning about the equipment, doing demonstrations,” says Melissa McGarry, manager of Health and Safety.
