School officials are blaming a gastrointestinal virus for 12 percent of the students at Olmstead Elementary School staying home. 10 percent of the staff was sick. The principal says during a typical school year a 10 percent absence rate only comes once or twice. Students are being encouraged to wash their hands more and parents are being asked to keep children home, if their sick. Custodians are doing even more disinfecting.
