Five Mat-Su schools closed to in-person learning this week amid reports of numerous COVID-19 cases.
As of Wednesday, Colony middle and high schools shifted to online learning for the rest of the week, with a reopening decision expected Sunday. Pioneer Peak Elementary is also conducting online learning only this week.
School district officials said Wednesday that COVID-19 cases at two more schools — Wasilla High School and Career Tech High School — prompted them to order early releases at both. It wasn’t immediately clear how long those buildings would be closed to students.
