Gwinnett County Schools on H1N1 flu

I contacted Gwinnett County Schools to find out how many confirmed cases of H1N1/Swine Flu that the schools have had. I specifically asked about Britt Elementary here in Snellville, but I received a response from Jorge Quintana, Director of Media Relations for Gwinnett County Schools:
Friday, September 4, 2009:

"At this time, the school system has not received any notifications from the health department with confirmed cases of H1N1.

Some parents, however, have notified our schools about children experiencing flu-like symptoms and suspected cases. All Gwinnett schools, including Britt Elementary, are in constant touch with our parents informing them and keeping them updated with letters home about these suspected cases.

Parents shouldn't be surprised if they receive information about the flu as the school district is working very closely with the health department spreading the word about what their children and families can do at home to prevent getting sick.

Health experts have predicted that this will be a very busy flu season so we certainly want to do our part with communication between the school and home."

So, they don't have confirmed cases reported by the health department to the school system, but that doesn't mean that some of the flu symptoms the parents have reported were not H1N1.
