A 6-year-old student died after she suffered a medical episode at the ExcellED Montessori Plus School in northwest Bexar County, Sheriff Javier Salazar said on Friday.

In a news conference, Salazar said the child was in the bathroom between two and five minutes when teachers went to check on her. Employees found her unresponsive, called 911 and began performing life-saving measures.

She was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

No foul play is suspected, and other students at the school are safe and accounted for, he said.

Friday’s death comes months after a teacher and a 1-year-old were killed in a crash on school grounds.

On Dec. 19, 2024, a woman picking up her children accelerated her vehicle into another car, which rammed both vehicles through a fence.
