KTHV reports the Lincoln School District in Arkansas was forced to close for a few days after a widespread stomach illness wreaked havoc.
The janitorial staff is currently trying to spend it’s time cleaning up and sanitizing the “huge amounts of vomit” before the school reopens.
Lincoln, Nebraska, home to many food safety types at the University of Nebraska, has finally joined hundreds of other communities by providing food inspection reports online.
The JournalStar reports that Mayor Chris Beutler also announced that the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department has received a $350,000, five-year federal 
grant to reduce foodborne illnesses originating from retail food businesses.
The city will hire a food safety consultant to work with problem businesses and with a newly established task force that will identify barriers that hinder staff from using safe food practices, Beutler said.
The health department will report on its findings, on what works well, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The link to the restaurant inspection site is available by typing “food inspection” in the search line on the city’s home page, www.lincoln.ne.gov.
