"DOH-Palm Beach is currently working closely with Oxbridge Academy on this investigation," health department spokesman Alex Shaw told The Palm Beach Post via email.

School spokesman Scott Benarde did not respond to messages seeking comment. The school campus and parking lot on Military Trail were empty Friday morning.
The upscale school, which educates students from grades 7-12, made headlines last month when it enrolled Barron Trump, son of former President Donald Trump.
