Highlights of the “covid impact report” included plans for a split session summer school with the first half dedicated largely to helping students who fell behind academically this school year to catch up.
The second half of summer school will also be focused on helping students make a productive transition into the start of the 2021-2022 school year.
“It’s a unique year,” Lakota Superintendent Matt Miller told the board referring to the sweeping impacts the pandemic has had on the current school year.
Lakota school board member Brad Lovell said “there are a ton of lessons learned … due to the pandemic.”
The popularity of the district’s Virtual Learning Option (VLO), where students learn online remotely from home, will also see the program extended into the next school year, Keith Koehne, executive director of curriculum and instruction, told the board.
