Trying to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus in schools is causing high school students to lose their opportunity to waive a final exam.
District 6 Superintendent Zoe Watson tells CHSJ News, the exam exemption system has been put on hold for this school year as a preventative measure towards H1N1.
Watson says in the past students who are serious about getting an exemption will still come to school even if they are feeling under the weather.
She says this temporary change is to ensure the safety of all students in the districts high school.
