Rosemont parents aren't the only ones talking about a local sick student.
Last week an unnamed 17-year-old senior at Rosemont High School came down with meningococcal disease, which can manifest as bacterial meningitis and can be fatal. The student is hospitalized, according to a newsletter released by the school Monday.
The county's top health official told the Sacramento Bee that she's concerned about students who were in the same gym class as the ill student, and those at highest risk have already been told to get an antibiotic.
According to Fox40, students wore yellow Tuesday and created a Facebook page asking for prayers for the ill senior.
KCRA got reactions from students, including one self-proclaimed "germophobe."
And CBS13 reported that a school district spokesman said the campus was being given a thorough cleaning.
