COVID cases prompt closures
By Anne Berleant and Rebecca Alley
ELLSWORTH – Students at Sumner Memorial High School are learning remotely this week following a case of COVID-19, according to an April 5 letter from Regional School Unit 24 (RSU 24) Superintendent Michael Eastman.
Students are scheduled to return to in-person learning Monday, April 12.
The letter states that an individual tested positive for the coronavirus, which has resulted in six staff members and 45 students from Sumner and Mountain View School needing to quarantine.
Mountain View did not switch to remote learning “as the exposure did not take place in the school building,” the letter reads.
