Petersburg School District will open a preschool this fall. It will be the only pre-K school run by the school district and will focus on special education students but other students will be able to enroll as well.
There are already a few preschools in Petersburg run by different non-profits. But the school district hasn’t run a preschool until now. The new school will be housed inside the Rae C. Stedman Elementary building. It will be free for special education students ages three to five but will also enroll other non-special ed students for a fee.

A program that teaches teachers how to incorporate culture into their classrooms has moved into several communities in Southeast Alaska. The program “Thru the Cultural Lens” is run by Sealaska Heritage Institute. It’s been in some of Juneau’s secondary schools for about seven years but this year it’s expanding to five K-12 school districts in smaller communities in the region.

One of the most controversial issues the Petersburg School District covers every year is the school calendar. One of the ideas on the table is splitting the week-long spring break into several breaks and another is having a four-day school week instead of the traditional five days.
School boards approve calendars every spring for the next school year so it’s not unusual that the local school board is talking about it in January. There are a lot of factors to consider says, Superintendent Erica Kludt-Painter.
