I understand that in the case of an outbreak of a specific disease, for which my child is not protected, my child may be kept out of school and school activities as advised by the Maine Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The length of time my child will be kept out may vary depending on the disease and the length of the outbreak. I also understand that if my child is kept out of school, the school is not required to provide off-site classes or tutoring. The child’s educational needs may be met by making arrangements for the delivery of school assignments, correction of papers, and similar activities which can be accomplished at home. Any child who is unable to take examinations during this period shall be afforded the opportunity to make up the examinations, similar to arrangements made for children who have other excused absences.
