Approximately 1,000 students are reportedly being treated for flu-like symptoms, forcing school officials to cancel classes through Sunday, Oct. 23, at which point the district plans to assess the situation.

It is unclear what caused the illness that is impacting hundreds of students on Friday, Oct. 21.

The Stafford High School Indians’ varsity football game at Massaponax has also been postponed until Monday, though officials did not say whether it was related to the widespread sickness being spread among the student body.
