A teacher at Strong Elementary School was placed on a 21-day paid leave of
absence after parents told the school board they were concerned that she
might have been exposed to Ebola during a trip to Dallas for an
educational conference.
.
The teacher, who was not named, attended a seminar held by the Smarter
Balanced Assessment Consortium that is still meeting in Dallas.
.
At this time, we have no information to suggest that this staff member has
been in contact with anyone who has been exposed to Ebola, the district
wrote in a statement published on its website. However, the district and
the staff member understand the parents concerns. Therefore, after several
discussions with the staff member, out of an abundance of caution, this
staff member has been placed on a paid leave of absence for up to 21 days.

The decision to place the teacher on leave was made by the MSAD 58 school
board Thursday evening, after parents and community members expressed
frustration that they were not notified that the teacher would be
traveling to Dallas, where the nations first Ebola case was diagnosed.

Last weekend she was packing her bags, (and) it did not seem like a risk
that was a problem at that time, Brouillet said. She never kept it a
secret. Her kids in her classroom knew from the very beginning. But there
was no intent to keep that a secret at all.
.
Jackie King, a spokeswoman for the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium,
said the Dallas conference is being held at the Hilton Anatole Hotel,
where participants also are staying. King said the Strong Elementary
teacher was one of 30 educators and administrators from Maine who attended
or still are at the event. She declined to name any of the others, and
declined to comment on MSAD 58 putting the teacher on leave.
.
Im not aware of any other school that has taken such an action, King said.
