Dear RSU 29 Families and Community, Please see the attached files for RSU 29's response to the recent social media incident

Dear RSU 29 Families, an official RSU 29 response regarding a social media incident on 9/12 was shared with our staff, school board, and local school partners today (9/21). I was waiting until the Houlton Police Department investigation was complete. The HPD released their statement on 9/20. This event took place outside of RSU 29, but affected our students. We are continuing our Title IX investigation regarding this incident. and our tech staff will be posting the response to this website and Facebook page. Thank you for your patience as we worked through this issue with local schools and law enforcement. RSU 29 schools were safe from the onset, and we encourage any student that needs assistance to reach out to our counseling department.

RSU 29 is aware of the concerns of the community regarding a social media post from 9/12 that happened outside of our school, but affected our students. We have been actively investigating this situation from the start with law enforcement, other local schools, and our own internal Title IX investigation. We will release a full statement once the law enforcement investigation is complete. We will continue to support any student with available counseling and can assure our community that our schools are safe. More information will be released soon.

Please come out on October 10th and join our Local McDonalds in supporting sports programs at Houlton Middle/High School! The flyer with details is attached.
