NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — There is a negative test after a measles scare at Currey Ingram Academy in Brentwood.
According to a letter sent out to the community:
"We appreciate your patience as we awaited further information regarding yesterday’s communication about a potential measles case on campus," the school nurse Leigh Ann Johnson wrote in an email. "We have received communication and the results are negative for measles. As a reminder, if your student is experiencing a fever or other signs of illness, please keep them home and consult your healthcare provider."
There have been no confirmed cases in Tennessee yet.
"Tennessee does not have any current, reported measles cases," said Bill Christian, spokesperson for the Tennessee Department of Health. "Tennesseans — especially those with national or international travel plans — can take precautions now by speaking with their doctor regarding immunizations. Tennesseans who wish to stay up-to-date on their immunizations can do so with their medical provider or by reaching out to their local health department for information."

The Jefferson Street Sound Museum is a great little gem in North Nashville. The founder and curator turned his home into a museum to keep the legacy of historic Jefferson street alive. Now, it's been named a stop on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. Aaron Cantrell takes us inside.
