11-year-old placed on ventilator with COVID as Texas mom blames in-person school

An 11-year-old girl is showing signs of improvement in her battle against COVID-19, which her mom says she likely caught at her Texas school.

“She’s a fighter,” Terri Gurganious said of her daughter, Brennah, who was placed on a ventilator last week at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston.

Terri Gurganious believes Brennah likely caught the virus at Buna Junior High at the start of the school year, according to KBMT. Brennah participates in multiple teams and clubs at the school, the TV station reported.

There are 82 students and 14 staff members who currently have COVID in the three schools that make up the Buna Independent School District. The cases represent 5.4% of students and 4.9% of staff members.

for creating a dangerous atmosphere for their children to be in.

"Parents in the school district have the option of sending their children to school in masks. The district is also not requiring maskwearing for staff members."
