ADDISON, Texas — < a href="https://www.greenhill.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greenhill School in Addison, Texas, is cancelling classes for some students due to what they call a “flu-like illness.”
The private school is reporting a high number of students that are absent because of the virus.
Classes are canceled this Thursday and Friday (Oct. 27 and Oct. 28) for students in the 7th through 12th grade. In a statement to WFAA, a representative said the decision was made with help from Dallas County Health and Human Services.
