A Gaffney Middle School student has been disciplined after district officials say he put a small amount of bleach into a cooler containing Gatorade during a basketball game.

Cherokee County School Superintendent Dr. Quincie Moore confirms the incident happened Wednesday during a game between GMS and Granard Middle School. Moore says Gaffney Middle School student admitted to putting about a cap-full of bleach into a seven gallon cooler full of Gatorade.

Moore tells 7 On Your Side students and staff from both schools drank from the cooler, but no one reported being sick from the drink.

“As sad and unfortunate as this situation is we are happy that it wasn’t any worse,” said Dr. Moore.

Dr. Moore says the student and three student witnesses have been disciplined over the incident, but she wouldn’t detail the punishment.
