More than two years after a fire burned down the Kilbuck School, there has still not been an insurance settlement. The Lower Kuskokwim School District’s board met in Executive Session last week to discuss the issues surrounding the still unresolved insurance settlement for the 2015 fire. The building that burned down housed two of the district’s schools: the Yup’ik immersion school Ayaprun Elitnaurvik, and the Kuskokwim Learning Academy alternative boarding school.
LKSD School Board President Clarence Daniel said that there were no action items after the closed-door meeting on the Kilbuck fire. Since the fire, Ayaprun has been housed at the Bethel Native Corporation’s Kipusvik building, and the Kuskokwim Learning Academy has been located at Yuut Elitnaurviat, the regional workforce development organization.
