Rash-affected Salem students attend classes elsewhere

Norwich Bulletin

SALEM -- For the first time since a rash outbreak forced school to shut down

twice last month, seven of the most severely affected students attended

off-site classes at the Salem Congressional Church Monday.

Interim Superintendent Leonard Lanza did not have an end-of-the-day report

on the student's progress at the church, but said that after four hours at

the location there had been no reports of rashes or respiratory difficulties

amongst the seventh- and eighth-graders at the site.

But Lanza said it was premature to judge whether the successful morning at

the church was an indication that the cause of the rash was contained to

Salem school.

" We'll know more through the week, " Lanza said. " If, in fact, it continued

to the end of the day, this could be a very positive sign for these

youngsters, some of which were extremely sensitive. "

Back at the regular school, Lanza said there were two reported incidents of

rashes Monday. He said one of the students reported the rash to the school

nurse, while the other called her mother at home.

Lanza said a few students reported to the school nurse Friday that they were

containing the rash with medication. It is unknown exactly how many students

are being medicated.
