The student attends Mason Elementary School and is currently in quarantine. Six other students from the same classroom who were determined to be in close contact have also been asked to quarantine.
"We moved the class to another location yesterday so that the classroom could be thoroughly disinfected," a district spokesperson said. "A notification letter was sent to parents, faculty and staff to inform them of the situation."
