Swine Flu
If the swine flu was present in the district I teach in I would hope that administration would side with caution and cancel school for a week. I understand that swine flu is no more dangerous than the typical flu at the time, but as a new strain that could mutate into something dangerous with pandemic potential at any time, the best move would be to get the kids out of school for the time being.
I am sure that something could be worked out with MDE where students could take care of state testing when it was deemed safe to return to school. I think that the schools in Texas and New York city did a good job at being extra cautious, and making student safety a premium.
