Broward County Public Schools could soon be getting carbon monoxide detectors in their cafeterias.
The school board voted unanimously Wednesday to seek bids for a carbon monoxide detection system for the district.
The system would be placed in cefeterias and culinary labs, and is expected to cost around $55,000 for 1,200 units.
More discussions on the system were expected to take place at a school board meeting later in September.

The move comes after several workers were hospitalized following a carbon monoxide incident in the cafeteria at Cypress Bay High School in Weston last month.
