All Anchorage schools will be closed for the next week while the district fixes widespread damage from Friday’s 7.0 earthquake, school superintendent Deena Bishop announced Sunday.
“There’s a whole lot of mess to clean up,” said Bishop, wearing a hard hat Sunday on a tour of a thrashed mathematics classroom at Bartlett High School.
The first day back for all students — either in their home school or at an alternate site — will be Monday, Dec. 10, Bishop said.
