The small White Rock School District in Lincoln County has closed because of flu-like illnesses.
District officials notified the state Education Department on Tuesday that it will be closed for the remainder of the week. The district has 135 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade and Superintendent Phil Caffey says 55 were absent Tuesday.
The Roff district in Pontotoc County and the Haworth district in McCurtain County both resumed classes Monday after closing last week because of flu-like illnesses.
