FAIR GROVE, Mo -- More than 100 Oklahoma schools have reinforced tornado shelters. However, the two in the town of Moore did not when an EF-5 tornado devastated the community. Five years ago, the Fair Grove School District didn't have adequate shelter from a terrible storm. Now, the district is convinced no school should be without one. "Schools aren't built for tornadoes. They are built to educate kids and house kids," said Fair Grove Superintendent Dr. John Link. His district knows that first hand.

FAIR GROVE, Mo -- The number of flu cases continue to grow in Greene County. That's prompting at least one school district to fight the bug. The strategy at Fair Grove appears to be working. Not one flu case has been reported in the elementary school. Administrators say it's all about prevention. The Fair Grove custodial staff ups the ante during flu season. They go through bottles of disinfectant. "We touch all the touch points, with light switches, desks, anything a teacher, student, administrator might come into contact with we wipe down daily. We look after our students here. We want our students to be here," said Andrew Garcia, Custodial Supervisor.

FAIR GROVE, Mo. -- School districts across the country report problems with a program for which we all pay through a tax on every telephone bill. The districts report price gouging by some telecommunications providers. The problem hits close to home for the Fair Grove School District. In a recent business ethics class at Fair Grove High School, student Andonae Madziarz said she couldn't imagine doing the work without a computer. "We wouldn't be able to research everything we need to research," said Andonae.
