Charleroi Area School District switches to remote learning due to student flu outbreak

The Charleroi Area School District in Pennsylvania has switched to remote learning after nearly 100 students experienced flu-like symptoms. Over 30 students were sent home, some requiring hospitalization. This decision follows outbreaks in schools across the nation, with some areas reporting up to 40% of students absent due to illness. The district does not plan to return to virtual learning this week but encourages parents to be cautious. The 2022-2023 flu season is one of the worst in the past decade, with millions of symptomatic cases reported so far.
