Detroit's Child Illness Outbreaks: A Tragic Series of Events.

Funeral services for a 6-year-old Marcus Garvey Academy pupil who died last week are Friday in Detroit. The school Jimari attended, Marcus Garvey Academy, remains closed until next week following his death and amid a wave of illnesses reported there. The Detroit Health Department sent a team to the school to help with evaluation and monitoring protocols for disinfecting the school. The building is slated to remain closed until Monday "to allow families to monitor their children's symptoms" in addition to the cleansing, the district said.
