CLIFTON PARK - A health warning was issued for parents and students in the Shenendehowa School District after a student was diagnosed with MRSA.
The school says the student attends the Gowana Middle School and is now undergoing treatment.
MRSA is a form of Staph Infection, highly resistant to antibiotics.
The school is urging parents to call their doctors if they suspect any signs or symptoms of the infection, such as a wound that does not heal.
