Some parents homeschooling children until Seattle school solves mystery odor Posted: 15 Apr 2010 12:58 PM PDT by TERESA YUAN / KING 5 News Posted on April 15, 2010 at 12:55 PM Updated yesterday at 1:35 PM SEATTLE -- Some parents take on teaching responsibilities today instead of letting their kids go to South Shore School in the Rainer Valley. This week, the Seattle School District closed a section of the building to run tests after several students complained of headaches, nausea and rashes. Some parents and students are trying to deal with this mess as the district tries to solve the mystery. A group of students from South Shore head to school, but today it's at their 6th grade classmate's home.   Parent Alyssa Royse is homeschooling her daughter and several others until South Shore School administrators can figure out what's making some kids and teachers sick. "There's no way I would consider sending her to a building somebody said we know it's causing problems. We don't know what they are," said Royse. A mysterious problem that caused 6th grader Hawi Ali to pass out Tuesday.   "I asked for air and went outside and my head felt heavy so I fainted. Someone picked me up and put me in the nurse office," she said.   "Right now we're leaning towards an issue with possibly the concrete," said Bill Martin, Seattle School District facilities director. "There's some things going don't seem straightforward like they should be." The situation came to a head early Thursday morning when Martin tried to answer parents' questions. Martin says the fumes could be coming from adhesive on the concrete and says the school will continue running tests. But in the meantime, the new building is deemed safe. Some parents aren't buying it.    "She's not setting foot in that building until that building is safe, so I'm psychologically preparing to have school here or anywhere else for the rest of the school year," sad Royse. Parents can get their student's curriculum. The school says safety is paramount, so it will have a nurse at school for the rest of the week and continue testing.   Previous article Sky diver changes planes in mid-air Next article Howard Hanson dam movement to be measured by GPS Leave your comment Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
