Islamic School Evacuated for Illness

Emergency crews are on the scene at an Islamic school in central New Jersey after a teacher and five students said they were feeling ill.

South Brunswick Police Sgt. Jim Ryan says officials have evacuated Noor-Ul-Iman School on Route 1 as a precaution.

Ryan says one student fainted and the others said they had difficulty breathing.

Emergency officials are evaluating the situation at the one-story brick building.

The school's website says its mission is to "provide an excellent academic and Islamic education" to students in grades K to 12.
