GREENBELT, Md. -- The latest area school to close because of flu isn't closing because sick students or even because of sick faculty and staff.

The Archdiocese of Washington is closing St. Hugh School in Greenbelt Friday because 40 percent of the faculty and staff are home with family members who have the flu. One faculty member has a flu-like illness.

Class is expected to resume Monday.

The K-8 school has 128 students.
