Despite the COVID-19 pandemic wreaking havoc on the last school year, the Lower Kuskokwim School District has fewer teachers leaving this year than in the recent past.
Teacher turnover is nothing new in the Lower Kuskokwim School District. In recent years, the district has made efforts to develop teachers from within the region to try to reduce turnover. This year, the district dealt with a new challenge: the COVID-19 pandemic, which shut down in-person learning for most of the school year. Despite the pandemic, or perhaps because of it, more teachers than usual are deciding to stick around for another school year.
