FARMINGTON — Students attending Mt. Blue High School and Foster Career and Technical Education Center will go to fully remote learning for one week beginning Monday following positive COVID-19 tests.
Three people associated with Regional School Unit 9 have tested positive for COVID-19. Contact tracing is complete and 86 close contacts were identified and contacted, according to a health notice posted on Mt. Blue Regional School District’s Facebook page.
Two of the positive cases are associated with Mt. Blue Campus, where the high school and education center are located, and one case is associated with Cascade Brook School.
As a result, Mt. Blue Campus will be in a full remote model this coming week. All students will return
to the hybrid model on April 12. There will be no athletics, clubs, nor extra-curricular activities until April 12.
The district will send a follow up communication regarding the campus.
Cascade Brook School will maintain a hybrid model during the coming week, the district’s Facebook post said. There will be no changes to scheduling at that school.
