The Kaukauna Area School District made the decision to transition Park Community Charter School to an all-virtual instructional model on Wednesday, Nov. 18.

Primarily, this decision was based on the data that 29.41 percent of staff (10/34) was in quarantine, with one positive staff case and two positive student cases (2/255). 

The highlight of Kimberly’s message to its board of education last Monday evening concerning COVID-19 was simple and positive: Through the first quarter of the school year, the district has managed to continue with in-person learning five days a week.

Students at Kaukauna High School earned a total of 3,647 post-secondary credits through Advanced Placement, Cooperative Academic Partnership Program and Fox Valley Technical College worth an estimated total of $772,939 during the 2019-20 school year.

Voters in the Kaukauna Area School District rejected a $32.9 million referendum question on the April 2, 2019 ballot, but the district never forgot about those needs and is poised to move ahead with safe school entrances.
