As flu spreads, 13% of students out sick at Grass Valley High - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News Sacramento Bee:
"About 300 students stayed home sick from Nevada Union High School this week, a number startling less for its size than its timing. Widespread illness doesn't usually hit during the first weeks of the school year, but public health officials say this year will probably be different because of the new flu spreading around the globe.
Roughly 13 percent of students at the Grass Valley high school were out sick Wednesday and Thursday. During the winter flu season, schools may see 15 percent of their students out sick, said Karen Milman, Nevada County's public health officer."
