The school board has sole responsibility for the selection of candidates, final interviews, and selection of the superintendent, but would like to consider the views and interests of the public to help guide those decisions.

School Delays and Closures

The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District is committed to school safety. When the decision is made to close or delay the start of school for two-hours, an involved process takes place before the decision is communicated. In the event of two-hour school delays or closures, official announcements will be made to the website homepage, the KPBSD Facebook and Twitter feeds, mobile app, and shared through your local radio and television stations. Schools with Alert Now systems will notify families directly. Click here to learn more about delays and closures.

If school remains open, and parents or guardians do not believe it is safe for children to travel to school, we simply ask parents to please notify the school if a student will be absent.
