Chillicothe City Schools will be shut down on Friday due to the flu outbreak.
The district joins the list of Ohio schools who have closed after the virus continues to sideline students and teachers.
All after-school activities are also cancelled, including sports.
“The buildings will be thoroughly disinfected during this time, and I ask that if you child is ill on Tuesday morning please don’t send them to school. I appreciate your patience during this time,” said superintendent Debbie Swinehart.
Parents are encouraged to disinfect all backpacks, books, and other items their student takes to school before they return on Tuesday, February 4.
If the student is showing any signs or symptoms of being sick on Tuesday, they should remain home, the district said.
