2nd staph case at Eagle Heights

YOUNGSTOWN — A second child at Eagle Heights Academy has been diagnosed with a staph infection. The school was notified Thursday that a male pupil was diagnosed with the infection that he had apparently contracted outside of school, a school spokeswoman said. The child is responding to treatment and the school underwent a thorough cleaning Thursday night, the spokeswoman said. The school shut down for day on Nov. 8 for cleaning after a female pupil was treated for a staph infection. School officials said they don’t know if either case involved a methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain.
