The Lower Kuskokwim School District is readying the Kipusvik building for a February move-in by the Ayaprun Yup’ik immersion school.
According to a press release, the school district has leased the building from the Bethel Native Corporation and is working with the Fire Marshal to make sure the building is up to code. The district has borrowed temporary wall partitions from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation to create classrooms,and is working to install internet access throughout the building.
The district plans to lease the building for three to five years while constructing a new school on the district campus.
The Kuskokwim Learning Academy continues at the Yuut Elitnaurviat facility where the district is working with Yuut officials to design an addition to permanently house the KLA dorms and school.
