Tuberculosis Screening at Round Lake High School 

Over the past ten years, three Tuberculosis exposures have occurred at Round Lake High School in 2008, 2014, and 2017.  Each time a student tests positive for Tuberculosis, this requires specific protocols to be enacted by the Lake County Health Department, including screening all students and staff with whom the student comes in regular contact. 

The Village of Round Lake has a higher than expected incidence of Tuberculosis. In the past ten years, over 10% of active Tuberculosis cases from Lake County occurred in residents from the Village of Round Lake; of those cases in Round Lake, 20% were in students from Round Lake High School. Therefore, The Lake County Tuberculosis Authority is recommending that all students at Round Lake High School who are identified as high-risk be screened for Tuberculosis.

Students who are identified as high-risk for Tuberculosis at Round Lake High School will have the opportunity to be screened for Tuberculosis. Parents may sign consent for Tuberculosis screening in the form of a blood test or a skin test as part of the registration process for the 2019-2020 school year in Infinite Campus beginning March 21. A Tuberculosis Risk Factor Questionnaire/Assessment will be made available on the District’s website in April for parents to complete. Students identified as high-risk as a result of this questionnaire will have the opportunity to be screened for Tuberculosis on September 9-13 at Round Lake High School. Families can also have Tuberculosis screening conducted by their private healthcare provider.  Screening will cost $45 and insurance will be accepted. Provisions will be made for students without insurance. If you have questions regarding the Tuberculosis screening process, please contact Dr. Eric Apgar at eapgar@rlas-116.org.
