How is it that elementary students are the only ones getting this virus? That being said, where could they be coming in contact with it, since different schools have been involved?

Prudent Decision?

When does it become the prudent decision to cancel the last 3 days of school? There are a bunch of kids @ a local elementary school (without a reported suspected case) being sent home today because of fever.
