In recent days, CBA, like many other school districts, has encouraged parents to become aware of MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus). After posting information on our Web site about this type of infection, commonly known as staph, the district has been made aware that a high school student was successfully treated for MRSA in September. In light of this, and reports of staph cases around the state and region, we are working closely with the Albany County Health Department, our school physician and nurses, and our custodial staff on awareness and prevention of MRSA in our schools.
At this time, it is important to keep the following in mind:
If a diagnosis of MRSA is made, it is treatable with the
right type of antibiotic.
If a child displays any of the symptoms associated with MRSA, their parent/guardian should contact their physician immediately and notify the school nurse's office.
The simplest way to prevent the spread of any germs or infection is to have children wash their hands regularly and thoroughly with soap.
Thank you for your attention to this important information.
