Superintendent Mike Tracy said in a memo to families on Monday evening that all schools will close for a week to students after receiving word that a student in the community tested positive for coronavirus.
NORTH ANSON — Schools in the Carrabec district have delayed opening after a student tested positive for coronavirus. Mike Tracy, superintendent of the district that serves the towns of Anson, Embden, New Portland, North Anson and Solon, sent a memo out to the community on Monday evening saying that schools and after-school activities will be closed this week but plan to reopen on Sept.8. According to the school’s website, the district has opted for a hybrid reopening that includes students being dismissed at 12:30 p.m. Students in grades k through eight will be at school on a two-day per week schedule on either Tuesdays and Thursdays or Wednesdays and Fridays. Carrabec High School will operate on an every-other-day schedule, the district’s website says. “Out of extreme caution, and with new information, RSU #74 school officials will work with Maine Centers for Disease Control on a proper response to the positive case in our school community,” Tracy said in a letter on Monday.
