Forman Boarding School in Litchfield CT is being closed until Febuary 11th due to a major wave of the flu. The kids at Forman began getting sick during the week of Januray 31st and it hasn't stopped spreading. Blood tests were taken from various amounts of kids attending the school and the samples were taken to Charlotte Hungerford Hospital. There, doctors examined them and discovered that the illness was a very contagious form of the flu that was also resistent to this season's flu vaccines. The school was supposed to open back up this week but the health department and the school's administration decided it would be best to have it remain closed. Students who hadn't been diagnosed yet with the illness and were still on campus were expected to leave by Wednesday night and public transportation was not provided. The dean of the school didn't want any possible exposure to occur, so he arranged other rides for them.
