The family told FOX4 that the teacher encouraged Green to use an inhaler, but it did not help.
Shortly after, the teen collapsed and hit her head, which the family said led to a staff member performing CPR.
Staff called 911, and when emergency responders arrived, the family said they were able to get Green's pulse back, but she had gone without oxygen for an unknown period of time.
Despite their efforts, family confirmed Green died on Sunday from complications related to the episode.
Green's family said she had no history of heart issues; however, doctors told them she died from cardiac arrest.
