SEARSPORT, Maine — Schools in Searsport and Stockton Springs are closing until the end of the week due to widespread illness.
A large number of absences from both students and staff has prompted the closure of all schools on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in RSU 20, according to a community message issued by Superintendent Chris Downing.
Downing said the CDC has indicated the flu, COVID-19, and RSV is circulating in their community.
The RSU 20 custodial and transportation staff will be working to thoroughly clean buildings and buses during the closure, the message stated.
