Meningitis Notice

Senate Bill 31, passed by the Texas Legislature on August 23, 2001. Requires that school districts provide the following information to all parents in the district. There is no connection with the release of this information and the current world status. There is no reason for alarm. Meningitis is most commonly spread in the college dormitories, due to close living arrangements, but the legislature felt it was important for all parents to be made aware of the disease.
