H1N1 Forces Stillwater School to Close

The H1N1 virus has forced one metro school to shut down. Salem Lutheran School in Stillwater is closed for the rest the week because so many kids are sick

It is the first time the school has ever closed because of illness.

On Tuesday, 27 students out of about 140 in preschool through eighth grade at Salem Lutheran School called in sick with the flu.

Principal Terry Graf says the decision was made to give time for sick kids to get better and get the school cleaned from top to botom.

The school will reopen on Monday.
