Just heard that there are over 200 0ut with the flu at the High School.
ReplyDeleteRumor is the BOE is considering closing school next week.
Any truth to this?
Please find out if this is true.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if you are concerned, is it possible to call the school and ask?
ReplyDeleteNah, more fun to spread rumors.
ReplyDeleteit was 100 yesterday, 200 today,
Do i hear 300 ....
Not true.
ReplyDeleteNo plans to close schools next week, and not an abnormal number of kids absent at any school.
Thats according to the high school and the district administration office.
Thanks JJ
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm the poster who asked about the rumor.
ReplyDeleteI heard from two people at the H.S. that it was around 200 out, and the talk of canceling classes next week.
Also heard from a doctor at the clinic, and someone at the pharmacy that the flu was "rampent" in the schools.
I also know someone who had an appointment at the hospital today, and they made him put on a mask and gown at the door before I came into the hospital.
Just what I've heard...
Not trying to be an alarmist. I know it's no worse than the regular flu, just hope it dosen't get too disruptive.
Apparently it just isnt true.
ReplyDeleteSchool officials are denying it.. and why would they do that?
And, if it was that bad, why would they wait till next week ?
Also talked to two high school kids and two parents - the parents were not parents of the kids i talked with.
They said it wasnt true either.
of course "rampant" could mean many things.
that could be 10 cases.
but ill keep my eye out and see what happens
Well, I can confirm the mask thing at the hospital, and my kid did say they have to change the dates of a couple of concerts at the High School because there are so many kids out sick. Now, whether that translates to 200 or not, I have no idea.
ReplyDeleteI called the Middle School and the lady said there were more than 50 gone yesterday.
ReplyDeleteJJ, most likely they don't want people to panic. But in my opinion, not sharing enough information is worse then hiding it from the public. If the h1n1 flu is going around the schools, they should be warning parents and taking precautions or it won't be looking too good for those in charge. Maybe it could be 200 total in the district that is sick. After all my family had a stomache virus. Then you have the usual respitory things going around.
ReplyDeleteApparently it is true. Two high school students told me "nearly 200" are out today. One is out sick today, the other went to school i believe.
ReplyDeleteim working on the story
more details coming
So the question remains. Why would they lie to you when you called yesterday?
