Good Morning:
Please be aware that there have been multiple reports of violent intruders in Maine high schools this morning. Based on law enforcement investigations, no reports have been confirmed and these appear to be hoaxes.
Brunswick schools have dynamic and comprehensive safety and security protocols and ALL exterior doors are locked throughout the day.
We are closely monitoring this situation and will provide updates as they are warranted.
Thank you.
Shawn Lambert,
Assistant Superintendent
