Presentation by ASD: Tom Roth, Lisa Miller, Mark Stock, Deenae Mitchell

MatSu and Kenai are shutting down right now

If you have any questions that you would like to ask anonymously please private email me and I can ask them for

Where are the teachers in their support of this plan?

What type of PPE is going to be provided for our educators and nurses?

For students with autoimmune diseases, will on-line still remain an option?

Teachers vary in their comfort along the same lines as our entire community in my view. Many email their support quietly but not publicly. I do believe that teachers miss their students wand want to be back - but vary on when

I am aware of a school nurse at a grade school that received a thousand sanitary napkins and ten N95 masks for their PPE supplies. This is a common situation.

There are online options but they may vary from the current remote model where every teacher is remote. It also depends on whether its short or long term

thank you, Mark :)

Are you personally receiving those emails that they are sending quietly?

Some are personal some are to the school board some are to other administrators. Some teachers are already voluntarily tutoring on some school sites after the normal working day. 6 school sites have been tutoring since September 28

Have you been talking with the MSBSD about their processes and have there been any lessons learned from them?

Will a student be allowed to attend school without wearing a mask? If not, will the traditional/online still be available for them to stay online with the same teachers they already have, so they won't have to switch to the virtual program.

It my daughter

Its not a one off

I need to update but that was current as of two weeks ago

if these are recorded wouldn't students staying at home be able to rewatch the zoom sessions

I fully support ASD trying to get things going again. I know it is not an easy task.

I understand the complexity of the system - its so difficult to navigate it. I know that every situation is different.

with less students enrolled, means less state money - do you expect that to have a negative effect on the district function this year

I am assuming that specific school questions should be directed to the schools (my daughter is in Steller so my situation is quite different from other high schoolers)

Two more questions from others: Are children going to be allowed to be in school without wearing masks?

Secondly: Have you been talking with the MSBSD about their processes and have there been any lessons learned from them?

Yes we have talked to MSBSD

Brittney, Gruening has been in contact with schools in Mat-Su.

If I get to go to Juneau, I can try to assist with the state funding issue. I don't think funding this year should be based on physical presence in a school building.

King Tech is of particular concern as it is hands on learning for Jrs and Seniors - they won't have another chance. Is there any discussion of allowing some of those programs to allowed to opoen even without busing or full enrollment?

Yes we are talking about KTHS the hope is that we can get MS and HS back second semester - planning is underway - we will see how it goes

Pre-Covid rules that need to be addressed

How many covid cases would be considered an outbreak having to shut down the schools

yes Jim pre COVID

during that period of downtime would they go back to doing online classes

Everything is different now. Needs some outside the box thinking and accomodations

Sorry, did I miss this answer - if we have specific questions about a specific school should we contact the school?

Yes the principal could guide you to someone if they do not have an immediate answer

thanks :)

Oh High school, I meant

thx

are the sped pre K classes going to be the same hours as K-2? Usually preK had shorter hours.

Has any consideration being given to allowing repeats? I know young men and women want to get on with their lives as soon as possible. But sometimes it might be best to step back and make a realistic choice.
