I only exclude for the typical things: fever, vomiting, diarrhea, unexplained rash, etc.

In researching influenza I discovered that you can be contagious 3-4 days before showing symptoms and several weeks after symptoms go away, so all of the children have probably been exposed anyway.

On another note, I have one who was out yesterday and today for flu, and no one here has it so he got it somewhere else. The point being that even if you did exclude until all symptoms were gone, they'd probably be exposed somewhere else.
