Sitka Community Schools has scaled back during the pandemic, but it previously has had a large menu of activities not just for kids. “Is it community, or is it schools?” interim superintendent John Holst asked the school board.
The budget for the Community Schools program in Sitka will likely be zeroed out next year, while the school district and city decide who’s financially responsible for the afterschool activities program.
The Sitka School Board on Wednesday night (4-14-21) heard a presentation from the administration that recommended reallocating the Community Schools budget to the swimming pool.
