The Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation said that it intends to support full-time, in-person schooling in the fall regardless of COVID-19 transmission rates in the region.
YKHC made the announcement in a press release on May 12. The health corporation said that it is working with school districts on plans to safely hold in-person schooling for the fall semester and will release the plan by the end of July.
