Texas School District Closes For The Week Because Of Illnesses
Classes in one Texas school district were canceled for the week because of the number of students and staff calling in sick.
AUBREY (October 7, 2009)?
The Aubrey Independent School District in Denton County has canceled classes at all four of its schools for the week because of the number of students and staffers calling in sick.
Schools reopen next Tuesday.
In a letter to parents, the district?s superintendent, Dr. James Monaco, said the decision to close schools until next week was made ?due to an unusual amount of absentees among the students and staff of the district.?
?While there has been a significant increase in the number of students out sick, there have been minimal confirmed cases of the H1N1 flu at the school. However, we want to take every precaution to avoid the spread of illness,? Monaco said.
During the unscheduled break, the district?s facilities will be sanitized, Monaco said.
Except for varsity football and volleyball, all extracurricular events were also canceled.
The Aubrey ISD has about 1,600 students.
