An East Boston elementary school has been temporarily closed due to swine flu fears, the ninth closure of a Boston public school due to the disease, school officials said today.
The James Otis Elementary School will be closed beginning tomorrow and won't reopen until Thursday, June 11, because of unusually high levels of flu-like illness, Superintendent Carol R. Johnson said in a statement.
"We continue to work closely with the Boston Public Health Commission to monitor attendance and illness rates in every one of our 143 schools," she said.
While nine schools have been closed, some have already reopened after their one-week shutdowns.
