Two teachers that work in the Switzerland of Ohio School District have staph infections, and they teach at separate schools.

A female teacher at Powhatan Elementary discovered her staph infection Tuesday.

She's already back on the job, we're told with her doctor's consent.

Over at River High School, another female teacher found out Wednesday night she too has a staph infection.

But, she isn't back at work just yet.

Superintendent Larry Elliott doesn't know if either case is MRSA --- the antibiotic-resistant, potentially deadly, strain of the infection.

But, Elliott insisted things are under control: "We're taking steps and precautions to make sure their children are safe."

By precautions, Elliott meant cleaning and disinfecting.

NEWS9 asked to go inside both Powhatan and River to see the cleaning process ourselves, but Elliott wouldn't let us.

NEWS9 was told extra cleaning crews are being brought in to make sure all schools in the district are sterilized.

And Elliott said they're paying close scrubbing attention to scrubbing desks, handrails, computers and locker rooms inside the schools-- all places staph infections like to fester. Areas like gyms can be especially big culprits for spreading the infection.

Still, direct skin-to-skin contact is the most common way a staph infection spreads, and that's probably why buses at the schools were being wiped down Thursday.

"We're taking, we feel, appropriate, proactive measures to ensure the safety of the children and the staff," Elliott said.
