Pete Kilbride thinks the biggest downside to online learning as initiated in Wyoming schools last spring was that the school districts went in without preparation.
One day students were in classes, and the next, they weren’t.
But Kilbride, who’s superintendent of Sheridan County School District 1 – the schools in Big Horn, Ranchester and Dayton – said in his opinion the greatest hardship to students was the loss of the social/emotional connection.
He said he thinks that’s especially true for the elementary school students, because they’re so closely connected to their teachers. Students continued their classes online, via computer, but they didn’t have the personal day-to-day contact with their teachers.

Also joining the board after being elected in November was Mercedes Biteman.
In other action at the meeting, Garber and Krumm were appointed the school district’s representatives on the BOCHES board, and Krumm will serve on the BOCES board as well as the Little Blue School House board.

A recently released national study indicates that school closures because of the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively affected student learning across the country.
In fact, according to Craig Dougherty, the effect of school closures on students has been devastating.
Dougherty is superintendent of Sheridan County School District 2, which is generally ranked as one of the top public school systems in Wyoming in terms of academics. Yet even District 2, Dougherty said, saw a regression in students over the summer after statewide closures forced students and teachers to virtual learning where classes were conducted via computer.
