TOBYHANNA, Pa. (AP) - March 28, 2009 Officials say one of three of the 603 students at the Coolbaugh
Elementary Center was stricken on Friday. They say about half of
the sick children stayed home and the rest were sent home after
falling ill in school.
Pocono Mountain School District spokeswoman Wendy Frable says
officials do not believe it was a case of food poisoning or water
contamination. State health officials suggest that a norovirus or
stomach flu may be running through the school. Only 25 students
were absent Thursday.
The school will be open Monday, but officials recommend that ill
students remain home.
