High School Teachers Plan for H1N1

Their union says Ontario high school teachers who are pregnant or immune-compromised should not have to work in a school where they would be exposed to H1N1 flu.

The president of the Secondary School Teachers' Federation says they're developing plans in case an H1N1 pandemic materializes in schools this fall and winter.

Teachers who are considered vulnerable would be taken out of class if there is an "elevated'' chance of contracting the illness.
