The Center for Disease Control had advised schools to close for as many as 14 days if there was a suspected case in their school. According to Ed., 726 public and nonpublic schools were closed for flu-related reasons in 24 states and the District of Columbia. Some schools are saying they will use emergency days to make up any time lost and, if necessary, make up days at the end of the year.Last week, we looked at some of those in Texas, including one that started disinfecting its buses as a precaution. Others seem to be doing the same. Now, officials are saying the flu is milder than expected and the best precaution is keeping sick kids home.
