BRADENTON — The summer camp at Radebach School is closing through Sunday after a parent told school officials Wednesday that two students had been diagnosed by a doctor as having swine flu.
Other children at the school in west Bradenton have flu symptoms, school administrator Renee Cottrell said.
“We’re having a professional company come in Thursday to sanitize the school,” Cottrell said.
Some 40 students attend the summer camp Monday through Friday, and school officials contacted the families of all 40 Wednesday to tell them of the reported swine flu and the decision to close. The summer camp will reopen Monday.
Radebach School is located at 2425 38th Ave. W. just north of the intersection of Cortez Road and 26th Street West.
