Eaglecrest High School canceled classes Wednesday and other school activities starting Tuesday after the death of a teacher over the weekend who passed away from symptoms consistent with bacterial meningitis.
In a letter sent to parents and obtained by Denver7, the Cherry Creek School District identified the teacher as Maddie Schmidt.
In the letter, the district said it is working with the Arapahoe County Public Health Department which would be reaching out to school staff and families of students who might have been in close contact with the teacher.
“The school and district have assisted ACPH in contact tracing to determine what students or staff members have been in close contact with the infected person. ACPH is in the process of notifying close contacts and will offer guidance about how to get preventative antibiotics for students and staff determined by ACPH to have been in close contact,” the letter to parents read.
