"WATERSMEET, Mich. (WLUC) - The Watersmeet Township School will be closing the rest of the week due to illness. According to the school, classes are canceled to allow for sanitation of the building.

In a phone call with TV6 & FOX UP, Watersmeet Superintendent Dr. Gerald E. Pease said nothing has been confirmed, illness-wise. He said a parent had a recent business trip to Washington, D.C., and then developed "flu-like symptoms." That parent immediately informed the school and is being tested for the flu and coronavirus, among other things.

According to Pease, the school closing is "preventative and proactive." He said the school will be sanitized top to bottom to prevent the spread of any illness.

The school said all activities will be canceled for the rest of the week, including boys district basketball."
