Authorities in Goshen are releasing new information about what prompted law enforcement to conduct drug sweeps at their middle and high school Tuesday.

District officials say two middle school students suffered “traumatic“ medical emergencies during class after ingesting unknown substances prior to arriving on campus. 

District officials say the sweeps, however, were scheduled before the students were found sickened, in response to the increased number of drug-related incidents in school.
