State health officials have issued a statement clarifying that no confirmed cases of measles have been reported at a local charter school in Cibolo. This announcement comes in response to concerns raised by parents after the school communicated that there had been a "confirmation of a measles case in a first-grade classroom."

The health department emphasized the importance of accurate information regarding communicable diseases, especially given the potential for misinformation to cause unnecessary panic among families. Officials conducted a thorough investigation and found no evidence of a measles outbreak within the school community.

Parents were reassured that the health and safety of students remain a top priority, and the school is taking all necessary precautions to prevent any illness from spreading. Health officials encourage parents to remain vigilant about vaccinations and to report any symptoms of illness promptly.
