At least one ambulance and one firetruck responded to a call about a fallen student at Montezuma Cortez Middle School on Monday about 3:45 p.m.<\/p>\n

The student, an eighth-grader, left the school in an ambulance and was taken to Southwest Memorial Hospital. She was breathing, but details about her condition or the cause of the fall were not disclosed.<\/p>\n

The student was found lying on the floor at the foot of a set of stairs about a half-hour before students were released, and the fall appeared to be accidental.<\/p>\n

Principal Kate Ott said that she could not provide further information. Assistant Principal Drew Pearson, who responded to the fall, declined to comment, citing concerns about privacy.<\/p>\n
