San Benito High School TB tests come back negative

SAN BENITO, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Cameron County Health Administrator Esmeralda Guajardo announced all Tuberculosis tests performed on San Benito High School students came back negative.

On March 27, the Cameron County Public Health Department notified San Benito CISD that an individual at San Benito High School had tested positive for Tuberculosis, according to Guajardo.

She expected the tests would come back negative due to the overall health and youth of the students.

Guajardo added a second round of tests will be administered in June out of precaution. However, students will be tested by their doctors since school will not be in session.
