Fort Worth ISD shuts down all schools due to Swine Flu
FORT WORTH - Late Wednesday night, the Fort Worth Independent School District said it would be joining the Cleburne Independent School District in its decision to close all of their schools due to concerns over the swine flu threat.

Earlier in the day, the district announced it would close South Hills Elementary, McLean 6th Grade, W.P. McLean Middle School and Westcliff Elementary until May 11. FWISD is awaiting results from the CDC on four probable cases of swine flu.

The first student to become ill was at McLean Middle School, and is now reported to be in good condition.

The Tarrant County Health Department reported three other students, one from each of the other schools originally listed for closure, were likely to have the swine flu.

Richardson was the first district to take action after a student at Canyon Creek Elementary School was confirmed to have swine flu. Graham Cracker Express, a preschool in Richardson, announced later it too would close its doors until next Monday.

Wednesday, the Cleburne Independent School District announced it would close all its schools, and encouraged childcare centers to follow suit.

The Lewisville Independent School District closed Hebron Valley Elementary School in Carrollton because of three probable cases of the swine flu.

Now, the Golden Rule Charter School in Dallas and pre-kindergarten through second grade classes were canceled at the Universal Academy in Irving. I don't know if I'm supposed to be worried or sit back and enjoy the LOL. People are starting to freak the fuck out over this shit.
