schools do not always communicate on a timely basis to the communities...if I google MRSA staff football plus a name of a school and get hits of sites where kids posted in sept?
I am a concerned parent of a child at Elizabeth Vaughn Elem. We were told of a child being sent home from school last Friday 10/19/07 due to contracting the staff infection. But when asked what precautions they had covered over the weekend to prevent more cases in the school I was givin a very cold "we are doing what needs to be done answer". Is there something else I can do to get the answers I deserve as a parent.
My 11 year old in a Prince William County school makes a good point. He says he was told at school that the High Schools were more likely to be affected by staph infections, however he rides the bus that first transport HS students and is often used after school as an athletic bus. Are these cleaned with infections in mind? He also plays sports at our local Boys and Girls club that shares equipment, etc. He's concerned and rightfully so.
