Big Spring/Odessa/Monahans - Some schools districts across West Texas are beginning to see the effects of the H1N1 flu, causing some to miss class.

Monahans schools seem to be getting hit the hardest right now.

The superintendent tells CBS 7 that there has been a 9% increase in absences or about 175 students reported out.

He says the school district is working to prevent the spread, and get students back in class.

In Big Spring, officials say they haven’t seen a huge increase, and feel right now they’ve been spared.

In Ector County, some cases have been reported

Health officials say if your child is sick, see a doctor, and keep your children away from school.
