Nearly half of student body sick

Several North Idaho schools have shut down until Monday because so many students are sick that they can't have class.

Culdesac School District in north central Idaho have shut down all classes for grades kindergarten through 12th grade until Monday.

The Culdesac School District Principal Jon Hussman said that 49% of his student body was out sick with either the seasonal flu or swine flu.? Hussman said he had snow days built into the school year so they may use those days instead of having to make the missed school days at the end of the year.

Kamiah Elementary School, also in north central Idaho, will be closed until Monday as well.

School officials in Kamiah said they had 38 of their elementary students sick last Thursday, but as of Monday they recorded 69 absences, so they decided to close.
