The Anchorage School District went to remote learning on Thursday after freezing rain on pavement made roads dangerous for students, parents, and others.
But the school district sent an email about it to parents on Thursday, the text of which was unintelligible. Instead of being in English, it was in Lorem Ipsum, which is a type of filler text that made no sense at all:
Later, the district apologized, after parents were stunned by what was clearly unclear and reached out for explanation.
“Due to deteriorating road conditions, we are shifting from 2-hour delay start to a remote learning day. Also, all after school activities and community rentals are cancelled for today. Girdwood K-8 will have in-person learning and no bus transportation. Apologies for the previous update on email. There was a technical glitch. Again apologies for the confusion,” the district wrote on its Facebook page.
Lorem ipsum is dummy text used as a placeholder. It is derived from Latin, but not intended to be readable or convey anything relevant.
