Last March, Governor Burgum closed schools for in-person instruction due to concerns about COVID-19. He directed schools to serve their students via distance learning “until further notice." The Governor amended his order on June 1st to allow schools to have summer school and to provide daycare as long as it was in groups of 15 or less. We are in frequent contact with the ND Department of Public Instruction and the Governor’s office trying to find out what schools will be allowed to do in August. Yesterday, the Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction released the ND K12 Restart Guide. This is a guide for local districts to start the planning process for educating students this fall. Within the guide is the requirement to update our Offsite Learning Plan and Develop a written Health and Safety Plan with our local Health Department. With the guidelines laid out, we will begin the process of rewriting our Offsite Learning Plan, as well as work with the Health Department on a Health and Safety Plan. In this process, we will be asking for input from parents and community members. Please keep an eye out for these surveys as your input is greatly needed. We know how difficult this uncertainty is for many of you. Rest assured that as soon as we have brought our team together and worked through the ND K12 Restart Guide, we will communicate our plan to all of you. If you have specific questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Wayne Stanley, Superintendent
