Why when I call the school nurse and asked specifically if there had been any confirmed cases of swine flu that she reports to my husband that our high school has not had a single confirmed case?  When I know for a fact that a dozen of our football team kids have passed it around!?  I am so confused.  I've seen the news....I know that it's going through our schools....our neighboring high schools have made the news.  When my kids were in elementary school and someone had chicken pox or head lice I got the courtesy letter, why not now?  What are you doing to keep your kids healthy? What do you think is the school district's responsibilty as far as informing us?  I'm frustrated, just had to blogetaboutit!

Last year my son's Jr High was almost shut down for 2 weeks due to 1 "suspected" case. It turned out not to be H1N1, so they re-opened, but it was a full red alert.  Glad your son didn't have it. http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/rsvltoymom/10440/#c_84969 http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/rsvltoymom/10440/#c_84969 You're right!
