The Tennessee Department of Health has notified the Cheatham County school district of one active case of tuberculosis at Sycamore High School, the district announced Wednesday morning in a news release.

The Department of Health is currently conducting a public health investigation, and the district is fully cooperating with the effort, the release stated.

The release stated the Department of Health is scheduling an on-site clinic test date to screen students identified by the department who have been in close contact with the person.

School spokesperson Jeff Bennett said parents will be notified of the test date.

The Cheatham County school district, according to the release, was made aware of a possible issue on March 11, and this was confirmed by the Department of Health on March 27, stating the potential exposure occurred earlier in the school year.

The school district chose to develop an action plan to address safety concerns and distribute parental information, the release said.
