The girl and the student who owned the backpack were both checked by a school nurse, who determined they had not ingested the drug.
Police said it’s unclear how the cocaine ended up in the male student’s bag, but they don’t believe it came from his home.
They also searched the backpacks of the other kindergarten students, but nothing else was found.
