Parents at McGary Middle School in Evansville have been notified by the health department of an active case of tuberculosis.
Spread from person to person through the air and primarily affecting the lungs, TB can also affect the brain, kidneys and spine.
Health officials say it is common to have TB cases each year, but parents were notified since the case is someone at school.
Officials are working with the EVSC and school staff to test everyone who has been exposed.
