Recently, there have been a number of reports regarding Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections in Delaware and Chester County schools. The district is keenly aware of the risk to our students. School nurses and staff are alerted to the infection and will monitor student health. If a MRSA infection is suspected, precautions to safeguard all children will be taken. Some links to general information about MRSA appear below. There is also a fact sheet regarding MRSA on the Pennsylvania Department of Health web site (www.health.state.pa.us).
