Swine Flu to cost schools billions

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

Much more at the link.

The costs of pupil absenteeism nationwide will vary by district. As of 2007, there are over 13,800 school districts in the United States and 275 that have 25,000 or more pupils like the Rochester City School District. Those districts account for 16.5 million students. With an average of 3 days lost, and a Swine Flu infection rate of 25-33%, these schools will lose 12.4 to 16.3 million pupil days. That may mean lost revenues to those districts alone in excess of a half billion dollars or more.
