Two Regional School Unit 18 schools reported positive COVID-19 cases Thursday, with one remaining open and the other switching to fully remote learning.
Messalonskee High School in Oakland is shifting to remote learning from Friday until Monday, Jan. 25, while China Primary School will remain open after each school recorded one positive test of the coronavirus.
The district has reported 13 cases of COVID-19 infection this school year.
Messalonskee High School Principal Paula Callan wrote in a letter to the community the school is shifting to remote learning “because of the large number of students and staff identified as close contacts.” Students were dismissed early Thursday.
