Attleboro Student Sent To School With Coronavirus 'Makes No Sense,' Baker Says

The unidentified student went to school Monday after testing positive for the virus.

BOSTON — A day after it was revealed that an Attleboro High School student went to school knowing he had coronavirus, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker said local communities should decide the punishment in such cases.

The unidentified student went to school Monday after testing positive for the virus. Word didn’t get out until late in the day and once contact tracing was done 30 classmates were forced into quarantine for 14 days as a precaution.

Attleboro Mayor Paul Heroux said no one was to blame except the teen’s parents for putting other students and staff at risk.
