The flu season has seen a surge in cases across the US, with Tarrant County reporting its first pediatric flu death of the 2023-2024 season. A school district in Navarro County sent students home for the week due to an uptick in illnesses. Washington state is considering a bill to address the restraint and isolation of students in schools. Additionally, a new bill is proposed to allow students who engage in violent felonies or sexual misconduct to attend a different school than the victim-survivor. The flu outbreak is attributed to factors such as kids returning to school and holiday gatherings.
