Compared to last week, there are a lot more students at school today, but there are still students sick with the flu.
On Monday, 68 students absent, which Becky Smith, attendance clerk, said was an improvement over Thursday’s absentee rate of 150 students. In all, there are about 630 students at Duncan Middle School today.
“Better, better attendance,” Smith said.
There was no school Friday because a large number of students were sick. Teachers used Friday as a work day and cleaned classrooms throughout the day. School resumed today as normal.
