Dallas parents fearing Ebola remove children from school
Parents on Wednesday were removing their children from a Dallas school where a student may have had contact with the Ebola patient diagnosed Tuesday.
A letter to parents of children at L.L. Hotchkiss Elementary School, 6929 Town North Drive, says in part:
“This morning, we were made aware that one of our students may have had contact with an individual who was recently diagnosed with the Ebola virus. This student is currently not showing any symptoms and is under close observation by the Dallas County Health and Human Services Department.

Since this student is not presenting any symptoms, there is nothing to suggest that the disease was spread to others, including students and staff.”...
