- Many homes in region do not have access to internet. The NWABSD is providing access to learning through low technology avenues. Learning materials are dispersed to students.

Home packets will also be put on the district’s homepage for those parents who can print them. Meals are served daily at pick up points. We have critical mission staff only in the Pribilof Island School District Superintendent Brett Agenbroad shares: "In an effort to reduce the possibility of moving potential virus into office spaces occupied by workers, when our faculty is in the building (sequestered in their classrooms/social distancing,) we have stopped the air handlers in order to prevent recirculating the air."

- One of our villages, Shaktoolik with limited home internet, will be starting Story Time from Shaktoolik every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm which will be simulcast on VHF and Facebook Live. This will provide an opportunity for all students in the village to have stories read in groups at homes. Teachers will then follow up with phone calls to ask questions on the books read. Teachers will also rotate who reads each day.

- Health Mandate 011: Social Distancing
- • COVID-19 Health Mandate 013 on K-12 Public and Private Schools supersedes Health Mandate 008, and extends the statewide public and private school closure from May 1, 2020 to the end of the 2019-2020 school year. The mandate states, “student learning will continue, per each school district’s individual plan, to provide distance-delivered educational services to students,” and explains that the State of Alaska Incident Command will reconvene in April “to consider whether the state’s health outlook will safely allow for small groups of students to meet with their teachers in-person for final student conferences before the end of the school year.”

2. What sort of services must be provided during the break? (UPDATED 3/19/20)
It is important to point out the difference between an extended break and a school closure. During the extended break, no services are being provided to any students (regular Education or otherwise) During a school closure, accommodations must be made for the delivery of services to all students, including students receiving special education services. These service plans will be very different from student to student, despite limitations of the resources necessary to carry out services. The status of “Medical Closure” is pending more information.

Yes – _many districts have done this in the past. It is important to point out that a student may not require new assessments to continue in special education. Initial evaluations would be the priority to focus resources.
