“We are continuing to research all the options, including remote learning, for how we’re going to address future weather closures, given the forecast for the remainder of the week,” said Anchorage School District spokesman MJ Thim.
Residents dig vehicles out of snowy roads under bluebird skies Monday morning in Anchorage. .
Monday is the fifth snow day the district has had this school year. Thim said the district builds two days into the school calendar for weather closures. Marnie Hartill is an English teacher with the school district’s virtual learning program. She said the switch to remote learning isn’t as easy as having students log on with their teacher.
“Teachers are willing to deliver online instruction,” Aist said. “Teachers are willing to support their students and support families on weather days. The question is what materials, what technology, what plan is in place to do that.”Like many other residents, Aist has been frustrated at the slow rate of snow plowing from the city. He said that he doesn’t believe the school district is the main organization standing in the way of kids getting back to school.
