Dear RSU 21 Families,
Parents of a Kennebunk High School student contacted the school to say their child reported symptoms of
COVID-19 on September 16 and was tested on September 17. Those test results came back positive, according
to the student’s parents. The student attended school on September 10 and 11 but has not been back since. The
parents informed the school of the test results on September 21. The Maine Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) confirmed the positive case at 1:45 pm today, September 23. We have followed COVID
safety protocols and do not believe there was exposure given the timeline. We are informing family and staff
out of an abundance of caution. We have contacted the CDC. We are committed to adhering to the guidelines
set forth in Maine CDC’s Standard Operating Procedures and will provide further communication to keep you
informed.
Terri Cooper, Ed.D.
