Excerpt:
Pivarnik said that during the Thanksgiving holiday, one of the members of the girls' basketball team was diagnosed with MRSA. When administrators learned about the infection, workers disinfected the gym floor, locker rooms and every area in the building. He said the incubation period passed, and the teen was cleared to return to school.
...
Pivarnik said the second case of MRSA occurred this past week when a student reported she had MRSA. He said that student was not on the basketball team. He said the school continued to disinfect the entire building each day, and he has ordered hand wipes, which should be in next week.
