– High absenteeism among students at the Boles ISD has forced officials to cancel classes for the remainder of the week.
According to the district, seasonal flu has resulted in absences from over 15 percent of the student body.
With a scheduled two-day break next week, Boles students will not return to class until next Wednesday.
Several other area schools have reported high absenteeism, but have yet to cross the 15 percent threshold needed to close its campuses.
