Parents were horrified by the heavy- handed approach, which caused some children who suffer from asthma to get sick.
37 students complained of physical symptoms following the pepper spray.
They were examined by the school nurse, and their parents were contacted. Five parents contacted the school after the incident.
'It was just terrible in there,' 12-year-old Derrell Hairston told Wavy.com
Derrell's mother Tyheshia Hairston said: 'He stayed up all night coughing and gagging.
'I just feel like you can't treat these kids like animals ... they're going to act like animals.'
