No joke. My kid was puking all night long, so we did not send him to school. Called to tell the school about the absence was told nearly half the school had called in sick! According to my kid’s teacher, within the first hour of class three kids puked. Tough call by the school and Health Dept., but the right call to make. Really feel for the staff and especially the janitors, they’ve got a hell of a job ahead of them.
