Austintown Middle School cleaned after staph infections

AUSTINTOWN

School officials said Austintown Middle School was thoroughly cleaned after two student athletes contracted staph infections.

Superintendent Vince Colaluca said the two students were discovered to have staph Monday. Both were treated by their own doctors, he said.

Colaluca said the administration followed building protocols, and cleaning crews came in Tuesday to sanitize the locker rooms, and Wednesday to clean the rest of the school.

He said letters were sent home to parents informing them of the staph cases, but they shouldn’t be worried about an outbreak.
