Official statement from the RSU 21 School Board of Directors

May 10, 2024

To our Community, Staff, and Students of RSU 21:

We accept the resignation of the former Board Chair, Erin Nadeau. As we near the end of a challenging and painful week, to begin the process of healing across the RSU21 community, we want to communicate clearly and emphatically that the views expressed by the former Chair on social media earlier this week do not represent the views of the Board. She made an egregious comment and her words were deeply hurtful to our community, specifically teachers whom we greatly respect. 

We are dedicated to restoring trust between our Board and the community. What unites us is a shared commitment to the students, teachers, and staff of RSU21.
