The school was advised to stay open by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and to make sure students and faculty wash their hands and cover their mouths when coughing or sneezing to avoid potential contamination, according to the news release.

Parents can take their children home from school early today and school officials are advising them to keep an eye on their children's health and report any illnesses to health officials immediately.

There will be no classes at the school Tuesday, according to the Archdiocese.

Maintenance staff on the school's campus are currently cleaning the communal areas, including the school auditorium, the affected student's classroom and the rest rooms.

Gilchrist was set to speak at the Buca di Beppo restaurant in Claremont tonight to the local Republican Club on protecting the Mexican border from illegal immigration.

Restaurant officials told Claremont police they canceled the event because they were "not aware of the specific speaker's background," Lt. Dennis Smith said.

Gilchrist and The Minuteman Project are known for pushing for strict Mexican border control and immigration law enforcement.

The restaurant decided Gilcrest's views were not conducive with Buca Di Beppo's family atmosphere, Smith said.

Gilchrist was supposed to be at the restaurant from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

This is not the first time a Gilchrest event has been canceled. The Minuteman founder was scheduled to speak at Pomona College in 2007 but backed out at the last minute "because of an 'anarchist mindset' among Pomona students," according to the Future of Freedom Foundation Web site.

A woman accused of maintaining a "prostitution house" in a Claremont apartment is set to appear in Pomona Superior Court this morning for an arraignment hearing, said Claremont police Lt. Shelly Vander Veen.

Hengxiang Chen, 39, of Alhambra was booked on suspicion of prostitution Tuesday.

About a month ago, police investigators received an anonymous tip that an apartment in the 500 block of West San Jose Avenue was being used exclusively for prostitution.

Officers conducted ongoing surveillance at the apartment and served a search warrant about 11:25 a.m. Tuesday, according to a news release.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a hold on Chen, a Chinese national, because she is suspected of being in the country illegally.
