CONSTANTINE, MI (WTVB) – Widespread illness has forced a St. Joseph County school district to shut down for the next couple of days.
Constantine school officials posted on their Facebook page that at the recommendation of the St. Joseph County Health Department, all of the Constantine schools are closed for Monday and Tuesday.
It’s Snocoming week at Constantine but the shutdown includes any and all sports, student activities and extracurricular activities through Tuesday.
Students and staff were told to stay home and stay healthy.
School is scheduled to resume Wednesday.
There have been a lot of illnesses this winter. Statistics from the Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency show there have been three times the number of influenza cases reported in Branch, Hillsdale, and St. Joseph Counties during this flu season through the end of December.
Those numbers are expected to go up when the January numbers come out.
Pansophia Academy in Coldwater had to shut down January 17, 2020 due to the number of sick students and staff.
