Galena Park kids to be tested for TB

KHOU.com staff report

Hundreds of students and staff members at a Houston-area high school will soon be tested for tuberculosis - again.

That's because a student at Galena Park High School tested positive for the disease earlier this month.

The Harris County Health Department said it would test about 300 people on May 5.

The screening was delayed, so it doesn't interfere with TAKS testing. This is the third time this school year that students in the Galena Park ISD have had to undergo TB testing.
