    Whenever the board of health of any municipality shall declare any epidemic  or cause of ill health to be so injurious or hazardous as to make it necessary  to close any or all of the public schools in the municipality, the board shall  immediately serve notice on the board of education of the school district  situated in the municipality that it is desirable to close the school or  schools.  Upon receipt of the notice the board of education may close the  schools under its control, or such of them as may be designated by the board of  health.  The schools so closed shall not be reopened until the board of  education is satisfied that all danger from the epidemic or cause of ill health  has been removed.
