Pandemic Flu Preparedness Workshop for Educators
It's difficult to imagine the impact on the St. Louis-area's K-12 education system from an Influenza Pandemic. But, leading scientists, the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are all urgently warning us to prepare for the next one.

Local schools must understand the risk and take steps to protect students, staff and faculty.
