A Denver-area high school canceled Wednesday classes after a teacher died from what's suspected to be bacterial meningitis.
The Arapahoe County Public Health Department said Maddie Schmidt, of Eaglecrest High School, in Aurora, had symptoms consistent with the illness.
Bacterial meningitis is potentially contagious and serious and could require hospitalization but can be treated with antibiotics. The school sent a letter to parents saying in part,"We take this matter very seriously and are working closely with Arapahoe County Public Health to identify students or staff who may have been in close contact with the infected staff person. Arapahoe County Public Health will reach out directly to all staff members and families of students determined to be close contact. Those individuals will be offered preventative antibiotics.
