< 1 min read

A high school student in Washington County, Pennsylvania, who was recently diagnosed with tuberculosis showed up to school Monday without a doctor’s clearance, according to the Charleroi Area School District superintendent.

After learning the teen — who had been diagnosed a couple weeks ago — had returned without a doctor’s permission, school staff “immediately isolated the student and sent them home,” Superintendent Ed Zelich wrote in a message posted on Facebook. School employees “thoroughly cleaned” the spaces occupied by the student, the message continued.
