McGraw-Hill Education's free instructional resources on H1N1 available online

When H1N1 or other illnesses prevent school attendance, students, parents and teachers can now access a variety of McGraw-Hill Education's free instructional resources on the web. The company's new Continuity of Learning site complies with U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan's call to minimize disruptions to classroom teaching and learning in case of school closings or absenteeism caused by H1N1 and other situations.

"Every day, our McGraw-Hill partners with schools and school districts to produce comprehensive teaching and learning solutions preparing students for lifelong success," said Bill Oldsey, executive vice president of McGraw-Hill Education.
