Clayton Holland was chosen by the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Board of Education at a special meeting last week to replace outgoing Superintendent John O’Brien when O’Brien retires on July 1.

Micciche praised much of what Governor Dunleavy spoke about, echoing his confidence since becoming Senate President that the current Majority Caucus will be able to unite to deliver a united agenda.

A Friday press release issued by Trident Seafoods noted that nearly all 706 workers at the Akutan facility had been tested, with a total of 266 testing positive.

He claims that President Biden’s Executive Orders, issued thus far, have attempted to “cripple Alaska’s energy sector and destroy good-paying jobs.”

Late Friday morning, KPB Alerts posted on the borough’s Facebook page that there were around 600 appointments for COVID vaccinations still available on the Central Peninsula. 

Senate President Micciche: “I’m not here to tell you that we’re united on the issues. You know that we’re not! We WILL be because everyone is going to be not ruled by someone in this position [Senate President].”

There was a population change of almost 6,000 people, or a loss of .8 percent. Zippia’s study points out that their studies show that it has less to do with the uniquely Alaskan climate and natural challenges and more to do with the economy.

After opening Seward-area schools to on-site learning for 7-12 grade students last week, the Kenai Peninsula School District announced on Thursday that the move will be district-wide effective Monday, February 1.

The clinic for those who already have appointments will be offered January 30 at North Peninsula Recreational Center. According to the Nikiski Fire Department, it is a large COVID-19 vaccination clinic for Phase 1A, all tiers, and Phase 1B, Tier 1.
