Page 3Kenai Peninsula Borough School District
Site Council/PAC/Governance Yearend Report
School Year: 2021-2022 School: Connections Homeschool Program
Goal(s):
No specific site counsel goals were identified. Connections site council has traditionally been used
to get feedback on things going on within Connections. Connections parents tend to be
independent and are not especially involved with “the school.” Connections parents are more
concerned with their personal school. Connections parents are generally happy if Connections is
running smoothly and does not put barriers in their way.
District Goal(s) that was supported: Be clear on how it was supported and how students
benefited.
Encouraging student and parent engagement through participation in activities remains a focus of
the program. Relaxing Covid mitigations and restrictions assisted Connections in being able to
sponsor activities.
Rebuilding and expanding the site-council process is one of the goals of Connections new
leadership.
Communication: How was the community informed of goal(s), meetings and updated on progress?
•Direct mass emails are the primary means of communications. The extremely distributed nature
of Connections makes other means of communications difficult.
•Connections experimented with improved communications this year. Texting is becoming one of
our preferred methods of reaching families.
•Digital marketing using social media (Facebook) and the Connections’ website
(http://chkpen.org) became more valuable.
What actions were taken to achieve the goal(s)?
What measures were used to determine that goal(s) were reached?
1) In-person activities were generally well attended
Summary of Meetings
Date Major topics discussed Major actions or decisions Prior actions or decisions
reviewed: what evidence
was used to determine the
impact of the actions?
There were no site-council
meetings this year.
Reestablishing and exanding
site-council is one of the
goals for the incoming
administration.
Page 4Parent involvement is and
interesting concept at
Connections. On-the-one-
hand parents are highly
engaged in the education of
their children. On-the-other-
hand parents are not as
involved with the school that
is Connections. Expanded
parent invovlement could be
a powerful tool for improving
Connections and changing
public perception about the
program.
What data gives evidence to progress of meeting goal(s)?
Typical sources of data are difficult to use at Connections. Homeschool families are much more
likely to opt out of “mandated” tests. KPBSD surveys are written for traditional schools and often
have no direct applications for homeschoolers. School improvement looks different at a
homeschool. The improvements families look for are improvements that make their interaction
with the school more pleasant and less cumbersome. Programs to improve instruction at
traditional schools do not translate well to homeschool where parents are the primary teachers
and drive educational decisions.
One critical piece of data is Connections enrollment level. While many families returned to their
neighborhood schools this year, Connections enrollment at the beginning of this year represented
about a 40% increase of pre-Covid enrollments. (Based on enrollments on Nov. 1)
What other significant actions were taken to support District goal(s) during the year?
