The Wayland Police Department is investigating students who became sick at the homecoming dance on September 25.  The dance took place in the high school cafeteria area of Wayland Union High School. Approximately 600 students attended the dance.

Around 9 to 10 pm, students reported feeling sick.  Suspecting that a foreign substance may have been put in their drink containers, school officials and Wayland Police secured the beverage containers.

At this time the investigation is in its preliminary stages and police cannot confirm what substance, if any, was used.
