970 students call in sick, closing school :: Beacon News :: Local News

St. Charles East High School will be closed for the rest of the week because of widespread illness among the students.

Nearly half of St. Charles East students were out sick by the end of classes Tuesday, prompting district officials to shutter the school and cancel several upcoming activities.

No other schools in the district saw absence rates higher than 10 or 11 percent, Schlomann said, but officials continue to monitor attendance patterns — especially as it relates to siblings of East students.
