Officials with the Washington School District issued a statement on Friday, announcing that test results from four students at Washington Park Elementary School have come back and they were not positive for Monkeypox. Superintendent George Lammay says they now have medical documentation that the four students who were identified with concerning skin rashes do not have monkeypox. Lammay did not disclose exactly what medical condition the students have but said district officials spoke with parents to ensure proper treatment protocols were being followed and district nurses are monitoring the children as well. Lammay issued a letter to parents of students in the elementary school earlier this week notifying them of the potential for Monkeypox and saying the affected students had been removed from classes and all areas had been sanitized.
