Those employees worked in the West classroom building. Health officials tested the water and also tested for asbestos.

Monday morning, officials announced there is no connection between the cases.

"Based on visual observation, direct-reading meter monitoring and analytical results, the environmental parameters were within the typical ranges for occupied office buildings and well below the applicable regulatory limits," officials said in a news release.
