(1)The head teacher of every school of the middle or higher status should be allowed to close the school on the outbreak of an epidemic. The head teacher should be required to report the facts, at once to the Managing Committee of the school for confirmation. If there is no such committee, the action taken should be reported to the District Education Officer or in the case of girls' school to the District Inspectress of Schools, if, however, the school is not subordinate to the District Inspectress, the report should be made to the Inspectress of Schools, as the case may be. The Managing Committee should inform the District Education Officer or District Inspectress or the Inspectress.
