WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) —Superintendent Rocky Killion said the student is not experiencing any symptoms.

"We just wanted to let people know out of precautionary action,” said Killion. “We don't have any symptoms being displayed in our schools. We just wanted to make sure that we just remind people to do the right things."

To ensure that everyone is healthy, the student will not return to school until it's confirmed that no one in the family has contracted the virus.

"We live in a great community where everyone works together, wants to help each other, and we want to protect our kids and so that's the best environment, in my opinion, where we can ensure that all of our kids are going to remain healthy,” said Killion.

Killion said because the family was so open about the situation and followed instructions provided by the CDC, it prevented the possible spread of the virus.

"One, we thank this family for taking the right steps,” said Killion. “Two, we wanted to show that in taking the right steps it's going to help others."

He said this is information that's important in keeping everyone safe.

"It's not something that is being kept under a bushel, so to speak, but we're making sure that people find out about it,” said Killion. “If we do we'll keep our children, we'll keep our staff, we'll keep our community safe as well."

Killion said they have provided house-keeping with new cleaning products to help combat the virus. They are ensuring that a deep, thorough cleaning of all areas is being conducted out of precaution.
