Teachers are wondering if Gov. Goodhair might shut down all school districts in the state for a couple of days.

Gosh, I hope not! My son already missed 2 weeks in the fall because of Ike, and that led them to do away with fall finals. If they close this spring, finals and AP tests will be an issue. What a pain!
Here in Houston, Episcopal hs is closed because a girl who never went to Mexico or came in contact with anyone who had (that they know of) is confirmed with N1H1. 2 schools in HISD are closed, but the rest of the district, as well as all the other districts are still open for business.

there's a "real time" google map available of confirmed and potential cases.

A bunch of students who spent the last term student teaching in Mexico aren't permitted to go to Slippery Rock's graduation. Shockingly, they're not whining about it!
And there's a case in Philly. I hope like anything that it doesn't hit over in Western PA, with my horrible immune system.

That's right -- AP test season is coming up. What are they going to do? They'll either have to reschedule AP tests for the whole country, or create two tests, one to administer at the normal time and one to administer at some future date for people in affected areas. What a PITA for everyone involved, including the teachers and professors who gather to grade the AP tests. It's that, or tell the students in affected areas that they're SOL and can't take their AP tests.

I assume they have some built-in mechanism for that issue. If I remember correctly, there was at least one case in high school when one of my classmates couldn't take a couple of the AP exams (I think it was the death of an immediate family member), and they worked out a seperate time for him to take them.
