The Lower Kuskokwim School District (LKSD) is announcing a cancelation of classes for all students for one week, March 16th– 20th 2020. During this closure, school staff are expected to report to work and will be formulating plans for the continuation of education services should longer school closures become necessary. All non-essential travel in and out-of-state and the district is cancelled as are all student activities, pending further notice. This includes travel previously approved by the LKSD Board.
This cancelation of classes is in response to the rapidly-evolving COVID-19 situation and comes after careful consideration and communication with the Alaska Department of Education, the Commissioner of Education, and State health officials. It also comes with deliberate consideration of our mission, the safety of our students and staff, as well as for the protection of our communities.
LKSD staff will be notified directly with further guidance by the end of the day on Friday, March 13th.
