As of Tuesday, August 11, it has been confirmed that seven Granite Bay High School students have contracted the H1N1 strain of flu (also known as the Swine flu). In addition we are aware of about a dozen students who have been kept home or have been sent home due to feeling ill with flu-like symptoms. It is important to note that we have students who have the flu that has been confirmed to NOT be the H1N1 strain.
We want our school community to know that we have specific guidelines from the state and county that we follow. Based on these guidelines, we follow a specific plan for addressing students who come to the office with flu-like symptoms ? we isolate them from the general student population, contact the parents and send them home! They are not returned to class. We encourage parents to take their student to their pediatrician or medical provider to be tested for the H1N1 virus but we are receiving reports that some do not test.

Based on what they state, we should see a small spike in the number of seasonal flu cases, assuming they are accurate in the bolded statement.

Confirmed cases of the H1N1 Virus continue to increase as do confirmed cases of other strains of the flu. We still had a 97% attendance rate last Friday.
We continue to follow the guidelines provided by state and county health agencies. We are concerned that some parents continue to send students to school who are not feeling well. For the record, based on the guidelines these students are isolated from the general student population and sent home. We are not taking any chances and we ask that parents do not as well.

Does California publish surveillance information, including positive tests for various types of flu? I really want to see these seasonal strains.

I suspect the "other" strain was influenza A.

My suspicion as well. I was looking for a way to contact the school via email but there doesn't seem to be a general dropbox address.
