More on MSK

Three positive things have come out of the recent Middle School of the Kennebunks discussions.

First, after suffering in near silence for nearly a decade, dozens of current and former staff members at MSK have come forward to share their health concerns with both the district and the public. People are listening to those concerns, too, which has directly led to the other two positive things.

The first of those is the response of the district's parents. For too many years parents have stayed strangely silent on the ongoing water intrusion issues at the school. Whether they were satisfied with the progress being made on repairs by the district, or simply unaware of the ongoing nature of the staff problems, parents have figured very little in the discussions of the past few years. In the past week, though, that clearly changed.

Parents have taken to social media and the meeting room to show their support for the MSK staff and to press for answers.
