Only those students and faculty whom the DOH has identified as having contact in the same classroom contact with the teacher who has TB, and therefore do not need to be tested t this time. If you still have concerns, you may bring your child to your family physician to be tested.
An informational session for parents and guardians has been scheduled to discuss the situation:
