SKOWHEGAN, Maine — Skowhegan Area High School will remain remote through Tuesday.
Two people have tested positive for COVID-19 causing ten staff members and 95 students to quarantine.
According to superintendent Jon Moody, "This situation was a unique one in that we aren’t electing to go remote because of a COVID-19 case or spread. We made the decision as we don’t have enough staffing at SAHS to run in-person school over the next two days."
School officials plan to return to in-person learning on Wednesday.
All other schools in MSAD 54 will continue with their normal schedules.
Extra and co-curricular activities will still continue. Students are advised to check to be sure their events are still going on.
Moody says, "This was a tough call to make and one that we didn’t take lightly. Our hope is to be back in school Wednesday to finish the week strong prior to April vacation."
