Unlike colleges, area school districts report fewer flu cases

College students were reporting flu-like symptoms just a few days into the start of fall semester classes but, two weeks into the school year, many area school districts serving students in kindergarten through 12th grade donâ??t report anything out of the ordinary.

The difference between the two groups of students was forecast in warnings issued by the federal government in preparation for the return of the H1N1 flu virus for the 2009-â??10 school year.
