Swine flu concerns close 10 Milwaukee schools

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Friday, May 1, 2009 - 9 a.m.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — At least ten schools in Milwaukee closed Friday because of concerns about swine flu.

The closures include five public schools and five private or parochial locations. A sixth Milwaukee public school, Wings Academy, closed because so many students or staff were ill. The academy is a small MPS charter school.

State officials Thursday identified two more probable cases of swine flu, bringing the state's total to five. The new cases are young adults in Sheboygan and Ozaukee counties.

One adult and an unrelated child in Milwaukee, as well as an adult male in Adams County were identified earlier as having probable swine flu.

The MPS schools closed include Allan-Field School, Riverside University High School, Clement Avenue School, Mitchell School and Rogers Street Academy. The other schools are Clara Mohammed School, Inland Sea High School, St. Adalbert, St. Anthony and Atlas Preparatory Academy.
