Can my child attend school with a new positive skin test?
• Yes. A student can enter a school after the skin test is read by the school nurse or the family’s health provider in the community. A student can be conditionally admitted for up to 20 school days until a negative X-ray result or a notation from the family’s health provider is received stating that the student is free of communicable TB.
