Schools take precautions after students contract MRSA

Two Massachusetts communities are taking precautions after public school students were diagnosed with a drug-resistant staph infection. A cleaning crew was brought in to sanitize the Delaney elementary school in Wrentham after a second-grader came down with the skin condition. But the town's school superintendent said there was no evidence the girl contracted the disease at school and that it was unlikely to spread to other children. In Dartmouth, at least three high school students have been treated for the staph infection -- known as MRSA -- since the start of school. Officials sent a letter home to parents and told the cleaning staff to pay special attention to common areas of contact, including desktops, cafeteria tables and sports equipment.
