Mesa County Valley School District 51 is closing all of its schools until after Thanksgiving break because of an illness outbreak.
A Colorado school district dealing with an"unprecedented spread of illness" has closed the doors to every one of its more than 40 schools.
"We have never before had to close all schools in the district due to illness," superintendent Diana Sirko said in a statement on the district's website. The district serves more than 22,000 students and has 2,785 teachers and staff, according to its website. "We understand that a districtwide closure is an inconvenience to families and a rare step to take," Sirko said in the district's statement.
There are 150 to 200 outbreaks in Colorado suspected to be caused by norovirus each year, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Communicable Disease Deputy Branch Chief Nicole Comstock told The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel newspaper.
