MISD Health Advisory to Parents
Due to inconsistencies in flu reporting, MISD has decided to remove the Type A flu chart from the website. An increasing number of students are reporting flu, but do not know which sub type (Type A or Type B) and there are a number of students with influenza like illness (ILI) that have not seen a doctor. MISD does not want to report inaccurate information, so it is best to remove the Type A flu chart from our webpage. More |
