Cases of swine flu
This is Union Superintendent, Dr. Cathy Burden, calling to tell you we met this morning, Saturday, May 9th, with the Tulsa County Health Department regarding two cases of the H1N1 (Swine Flu) virus at Andersen Elementary School. The good news is both children experienced mild symptoms and made a full recovery prior to confirmation of the H1N1 virus. We are working closely with the Health Department to ensure the safety of all students and faculty in the district. Since most U.S. cases have not been severe and are comparable to seasonal flu, the Health Department recommends that we remain open and students who are not ill can safely come to school.
We are taking the following actions:
*Disinfecting the schools by thoroughly cleaning with a product formulated to kill germs
*Enhancing our daily routine cleaning procedures
*Monitoring absences
*Educating students in cough and hand-hygiene practices and
*Keeping you informed as information becomes available
We are asking for your help. Please keep children home if they exhibit any symptoms of the flu. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing them on Monday.

Thank you.
