my friend’s son is at ps 87 in manhattan, he told me they had 3 cases of swine flu confirmed this weekend, and one parent as well…but no word on closing as yet….May 26th 2009.
i feel like everybody should have done what Obama said and that was when it had first happened he had said close the schools thursday and friday and while they were closed to go and sanitize the schools so now i feel like its the governments fault.
The first Brooklyn public school closed was IS 318 in Williamsburg.
it’s practical if schools are closing down. it is better to be safe than regret later. just as long as it won’t take too long in closing down cause that will surely affect a lot of things.
