Students in the Kupreanof Island village of Kake will resume in-person learning for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
The Kake City School Board announced this week that the district will adopt a mixture of in-person and remote learning starting February 8, barring any new active cases in the community. Students who want to remain fully remote still have the option.
Kake City School District Superintendent Rich Catahay says the teachers are excited to have students back in the building, participating in hands-on activities.
