Texas education officials say 53,000 students are out of school due to swine flu concerns and 2 Dallas area schools were closed yesterday due to infected students.

Dozens of campuses are shut down as of early Wednesday for desanitizing. Cleburne school district has closed all 11 of its campuses for the rest of the week for disinfection. The district about 50 miles southwest of Dallas has a total enrollment of more than 6,600.

The closures, plus parents keeping their children home on their own, means the students are missing school TAKS testing time.
