Parent and Family survey for Back-to-school planning
As a school team we are finalizing the school plans under the MN's Safe Learning Plan, CDC Guidelines, Local Health Care Professionals recommendations, and MN Department of Education recommendations. We need to hear your voice. As a school district we have options for how we start and work through the 2020-2021 school year: In-Person, Hybrid (a combination of in-person and distance learning) and Cook County Distance Learning. Cook County Distance Learning (provided through Cook County Schools by Cook County teachers) is an option for families to opt into if that is best for your family's needs at anytime during the year.
Please inform us of your personal needs as we are looking to understand and plan for our school year.
At this time our plan is not solidified, this information is crucial in our finalization of the planning for all 3 options.

Message from ISD 166 School Board
Cook County Community:
There is NO pending eviction of the Grand Marais Playhouse from the ACA. The Cook County School District values the partnership with the Playhouse and has no intention of severing our ties. The Playhouse is an asset to our community and our students.The School has never contemplated an eviction of the Playhouse.
The District has been in discussions with the Playhouse for over a year on updating our lease, which has not been done for over a decade. Part of this discussion has centered around the location of the Playhouse’s office space within the ACA facility. Due to the changing demands on the School, the District has been working with the Playhouse to move office spaces, down the hall, and still within the facility. The shuffling of rooms and offices is a regular occurrence at the School in order to best accommodate the needs of our students as they change over time.
The District’s commitment to our lease with the Playhouse and the commitment to our partnership is not in jeopardy.
Regards,
Dan Shirley
