Thursday at Abbeville High School the absentee rate was near 11 percent. On an average day that rate is about three percent.
The school nurse says many students are coming in complaining about cough, body aches and fever.
Abbeville School Registered Nurse Jan Peterson said, "I had a parent call me this morning who took her kid to the doctor. She said I'm worried about attendance and I said we'd take care of it. We do not want them in school with fever."
Students returning to the classroom will not have to have a doctor's excuse, only a not from their parent explaining they were suffering with flu-like symptoms.
