School's out again as illness spreads

A school district in Crawford County will be closed again today because of a high number of students, faculty and staff being sick.

Basketball games and senior pictures for the Mountainburg School District scheduled for Monday and today were postponed, according to a Facebook post Monday.

The two days will be made up Feb. 20 and March 30, the district said.

The post did not specify whether those affected by illness were experiencing flu-like symptoms. The Russellville School District closed Friday because of flu.

Arkansas' death toll this flu season was 49 as of Wednesday, the state Department of Health reported.
