First off there is a flaw in this particular choice. School nurses are very, VERY limited in what they're allowed to do. They can't even give your kid doctor prescribed medication without a specific note from the parent allowing them to do so. :open_mouth: I think the option should read Send to School Nurse. I think they may be able to take a child's temperature. My logic is that flu can come on so quickly. Kid can be fine in the morning when you send them off to school, and BOOM, that quickly they're throwing up in the hallway. Take their temp. If they aren't running one above normal, SEND THEM BACK TO CLASS. Kids are crafty little devils, after all. If they don't like school, or the subject coming up, they may try to fake it, just to get out of the class. A finger down the throat and whoopsie, lunch is all over the hallway. Yuk.
