Superintendents from across El Paso County met with state and local health officials Wednesday, and have decided not to close schools yet.

KFOX found one parent who is reluctant about sending her child to school.

"I woke up and noticed I was late to school, and when I came running out my mom said I didn't have to go to school because of the swine flu," said Kyra Swander, an eighth-grader at Da Vinci School for Science and the Arts.

Swander has spent the past two days at home, in front of her computer and studying for the TAKS test.

Her mother said she's not panicking over the worldwide swine flu outbreak, but doesn't want to take any chances.

"I'm concerned they closed down the schools in Mexico because they're worried about it. Yet, we still allow students to come across the border and attend the schools here in El Paso. I'm a little concerned we're not taking enough precautions in the schools," said Kathy McLain, Swander's mother.

"We have not received any indication form the experts, or medical community, or the county that we have to close any of our schools," said Berenice Zubia, spokeswoman for the El Paso Independent School District.

Health officials are closely monitoring two flu cases in West Texas, but results are pending. Meanwhile, there have not been any swine flu cases confirmed in El Paso yet. District administrators across El Paso County said they're taking it one day at a time, and the plan of action will vary depending on the circumstances.

In the meantime, school districts are encouraging proper hygiene, such as washing hands frequently.

"We also have our custodial staff wipe surfaces and clean frequently touched areas such as door knobs," said Zubia.

McLain said she plans to send her daughter to school Thursday and Friday, but only because she has to take the TAKS test.

"I don't know what we're going to do next week, and obviously it's going to get worse (I suppose), and I'm not sure what I'm going to do," said McLain.

None of the districts have reported a drop in attendance.

Administrators said they're keeping in close contact with health authorities, and monitoring developments on a daily basis.
