Officials at Robert E. Lee Academy in Bishopville says they've cancelled classes for the remainder of this week after dozens of students called out sick with several illnesses, including swine flu.

The school's football game against Florence Christian School has been tentatively rescheduled for Monday.

Officials say at least 15 to 20 percent of the student body has been out with flu like systems and upper respiratory problems.

Officials say the head master decided to close school as a precaution.

Classes resume this coming Monday.
