ELKO â The pandemic affected everyone, but none more than the Elko County School District when schools were closed in March, setting off a chaotic year for students, parents, teachers and the community.
Itâs been a year of adapting to changing mandates and CDC policies, said Superintendent Dr. Michele Robinson, who took the helm of the school district on July 1 after the retirement of Todd Pehrson.
âOn March 16, we were not prepared for distance education district-wide, though we adapted as quickly as possible,â Robinson said. The district submitted a distance education plan to State Superintendent Jhone Ebert, but when Sisolak closed school for the remainder of the year, âwe adapted again.â
