Following at least two gas-related incidents at Broward County schools in as many weeks, the district’s superintendent called for carbon monoxide detectors to be installed at every campus.

“We also discovered that we don’t have carbon monoxide detectors in our kitchens and in our cafeterias,” Superintendent Howard Hepburn told local news reporters Tuesday. 

The call for the installation of detectors comes after Cypress Bay High School was evacuated for a carbon monoxide leak in the school’s cafeteria that caused an evacuation and the hospitalization of at least five people Friday. None of the five people who required medical attention were students, the school district previously told local news outlets.
