If the health dept does not advise us on what's going on then they are at fault too. We as parent's have a right to know how the county is doing. i understand they don't want to cause a panic and that the people have aright to privacy but what about the other children don't they have a right to try and not get sick. You need to tell us what's going on somehow.The government should have stopped air travel and closed all schools for weeks and maybe it would have slowed down.");document.write(" "); document.write(" June 16, 2009, 1:52 PM"); document.write(" | ");

Maybe i am over acting but my children will not be going back to school for the rest of the year.There shold be better information from the school you would think? I Mean COMEON....
