St. Barnabas School to be closed Tuesday after more than 130 students home sick


CHICAGO - St. Barnabas School in Beverly will be closed Tuesday after more than 25% of its students were sent home sick Monday.

At least 137 students were sent home with influenza A/B, strep and stomach flu, school officials said in an email Monday to parents. Several employees were also out with the same illnesses.

An “E-learning” day is scheduled for Tuesday in lieu of in-person class instruction, the email said. Students in kindergarten through 8th grade will have to complete assignments through their teacher’s Google site.

    Sounds like closing was a smart move. I wonder how many of the students and teachers received the flu vaccine? They should probably close the school for the remainder of the week.
