Price Elementary pupil dies from flu-like symptoms

Published: Monday, September 14, 2009 9:05 AM CDT
An 11-year-old girl from Mesquite died Saturday night. The Vernon Price Elementary student died from flu-like symptoms, according to Ian Halperin, Mesquite Independent School District spokesman.


"The H1N1 virus is suspected but not confirmed," Halperin said.

The school district Monday morning was in the process of notifying all parents of Price Elementary pupils to inform them of the death. Counselors are being made available for all children at Price, along with members of the faculty and staff.

"We are following the guidelines of the health department and the CDC," Halperin said. "We had a crew at the school last night cleaning and sanitizing by hand the entire facility."
