CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind. (WTHR) — Leaders at Eastern Hancock Schools are canceling classes Thursday after a high number of students and staff caught the flu.
"When we realized what we are facing, we stepped up our cleaning and disinfecting efforts in classrooms, common areas and surfaces that students come in contact with," said Superintendent David Pfaff in an email to Eyewitness News on Tuesday.
The school already canceled class on Wednesday due to a flu outbreak.
The outbreak is affecting faculty, students and staff.
The illnesses range from bronchitis and strep throat to Influenza A and Influenza B.
The students will have another E-learning day on Thursday as deep cleaning at the school continues.
