The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District has announced that 13 schools in the Southern portion of the district are going to remote learning.
The KPBSD Medical Advisory Team reviewed the high positive case count COVID-19 cases in the Southern Kenai Peninsula, the rising 7-Day trend, information from public health, the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, and determined the data merits immediate action for an additional 13 KPBSD schools.
The shift to 100% Remote Learning begins on Tuesday, October 20. Remote Learning in the Southern Kenai Peninsula will be in effect for a minimum of this week.
KPBSD schools in Nanwalek, Port Graham, and Susan B. English in Seldovia are considered individually, and remain open to onsite at-school learning at this time.
The schools set to go to remote learning are:
- Chapman School
- Fireweed Academy
- Homer Flex School
- Homer High School
- Homer Middle School
- Kachemak Selo School
- McNeil Canyon Elementary School
- Nikolaevsk School
- Ninilchik School
- Paul Banks Elementary School
- Razdolna School
- Voznesenka School
- West Homer Elementary School
Get-it-and-go meals will be free for all students to pick-up daily at schools between Noon and 1:00 p.m. Pre-K, Kindergarden, and Special Education Intensive Needs students may still attend school onsite and the schools will contact those families directly.
More information can be obtained by contacting individual schools or by visiting the district website.
