Jan. 25, 2013 8:30 am
"With about 150 students and faculty with flu-related illnesses absent Wednesday from Konawa schools, officials in the Seminole County town have cancelled classes for all grades until Monday.
Konawa Public School Superintendent Joe Sharber said more than 100 desks sat empty from a barrage of flu and stomach flu illnesses on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, that number increased, he said, with more students being sent home with each passing hour of the day, including teachers and principals who also had fallen ill.
...With a total of about 730 students district-wide, the superintendent said 150 falling sick at once was a big number."
