California School Tests New System on Reporting Illness
An elementary school in 4S Ranch is using an NIH grant for a program that lets parents report their kids' symptoms when they are absent from school because of illness. The system compiles the data electronically and shares the information with public health officials. Use of the system could be expanded if the $S Ranch project is successful.
