MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococus aureus) has been in the news recently. It's a health concern that WCPSS has worked with Wake County Human Services to develop information to share. In recent years, county and school health officials have worked to provide information to school athletics administrators and their athletes' families.
On the WCPSS Athletics Resource Center, you will find information that was shared with WCPSS Athletics staff at the start of this school year. Another notice was provided these athletics administrators recently after national news coverage again called attention to MRSA.
The MRSA information has been provided by Dr. David Damsker, Community Health Medical Director, Wake County Human Services.
You can find information about MRSA here.
