SUMMARY - An American high school football game was cancelled after two of the athletes contracted Hand, Foot and Mouth disease. There is dispute as to how the game should be listed, either as "no contest" or as a forfeit (which would mean one side would win by default).

It is that time again, time to start thinking about back to school. The last school year saw many illnesses that shut down schools all over the US. winter was especially bad with many schools being closed at once because so many staff members and students were sick with Covid, Flu Norovirus and other illness.
This go around I am doing the school illness thread a bit different.
1st off I am starting it at the beginning of the school year unlike the previous one that started in the winter.
Also, this go around, it will run from now through the summer of 2026.
This will be a locked thread, however anyone with moderator tag can contribute. If you see a school or outbreak not listed you may DM it to me or let me know on any of my social media pages such as X, Bluesky or Facebook.
Please make sure we know when the outbreak happened, where it happened and provide a link to a news source. The type of illness does not matter, and this can include anything from K to 12 schools and even colleges/universities as we know they will have illness outbreaks as well.
A final note this thread will only be for schools in the US it would be too hard to keep track of the whole world however it is possible a Canadian thread may be needed at some point if I see a lot of stories from there.
