When one student fell ill and was hospitalized with bacterial meningitis, a contagious

and sometimes deadly infection, the president of the Parent-Teacher Association asked
the principal to dismiss school for the rest of the week in case other

students had been
infected and were now contagious. How should the principal evaluate this request?
A) Find the request legitimate, since the seriousness of the matter is more crucial
than the actual number of cases.
B) Find the request illogical, since only one student was diagnosed and is now
receiving medical attention.
C) Find the request unacceptable, unless other students begin showing signs of the
infection.
D) Defer his evaluation until he has visited the hospital to determine how ill the
student is and to what extent the condition is typical.
