The United Independent School District says any word the district is closing because of the H1N1 virus is nothing but a rumor.
In a statement released Monday, Superintendent Robert Santos says,
"Most recently, we have been hearing rumors that our school district will be closing down as a result of the H1N1 virus. I would like to clear up this misconception, at this time, the United Independent School District is not closing any school or department.”
He goes on to say the district will continue working with the city in setting up H1N1 immunization clinics.

Laredo wake up and smell the coffee!!! SWINE flu is attacking our children in the schools and both districts are doing nothing,but denying the whole thing.Education is not more important than HEALTH. Death could be a reality.Please Laredo speak up for your kids.

I am a high school teacher, and I haven't noticed that my students are sick. Actually, more of them were sick when school started than now. I think that the emphasis on preventative measures is working and must be kept up. Haven't heard about too many kids dying (at least around here). Where are these deaths occurring? in Texas?

I'm a teacher too and I have not see one case of H1N1. Why closing?!! Take preventive measures. Wash your hands ofter and sneeze and cough on your arm not your hands.
