Southeast board members attend a regional training session at Prince of Wales Vocational and Technical Education Center
|
|
The Southeast session was attended by four regional school districts. Twenty board members from Craig, Southeast Island, Hydaburg, and Klawock gathered at the
Prince of Wales Vocational and Technical Education Center in Klawock
for a full day of training.
The Fairbanks regional training session included participants from five school districts: Delta Greely, Denali, Tanana, Fairbanks, and Nenana.
By taking a regional approach to board training, AASB hopes to make professional development more efficient and affordable for school boards. The new service is being tested to determine if it is a valuable resource for districts.

Spotlight: Family Engagement
|
|
Articles in this section are excerpted from the AASB
STEPS Alaska Promise Neighborhood Newsletter
that focuses on the work in progress among the
Supporting Transitions and Educational Promise Southeast Alaska (STEPS Alaska) grant regional partners, who are striving to improve outcomes for Southeast Alaska’s youth.
|
|
Why is family engagement important?
|
According to the 2019 Student Climate and Connectedness Survey, family engagement is highly correlated to PEAKS reading scores.
For STEPS students grades 6-12, having "lots of parents come to events at my school" is the best indicator for PEAKS reading achievement, second only to PEAKS mathematics achievement.
|
|
|
It is more correlated to PEAKS reading scores than factors such as "being prepared for tests" or "this schools is badly affected by crime and violence."

Baranof Elementary School Busmobile
The wheels on the bus go…wherever there are five-year olds ready for kindergarten! Baranof Elementary School in Sitka had a plan for enrolling pre-school children in kindergarten. The challenge was identifying and enrolling children who are not in formal preschool.
Last April, Principal Jill Lecrone took to the streets with a "busmobile" to bring registration to neighborhoods and family-friendly locations. The goal was to encourage enrollment, answer questions about kindergarten, and get a timely and accurate enrollment figure.

“Are we on the record? Legal Issues with Recordings in School.”
Clinton Campion of
Sedor, Wendlandt, Evans & Filippi, LLC
Part two of a series: Technology and the Law
As a trial attorney, I pay close attention when a judge announces, “we are on the record” because everything I say is being recorded. Several years ago, the Alaska Court System installed a new recording system in courtrooms across the State. The system activates a blue light when recording, so everyone knows “we are on the record.”
|
|
|
There is, however, no “blue light” in our schools. Teachers, students, and staff may be recorded without their knowledge or consent. Today’s smartphones have the capacity to audio and video record every interaction between students and staff.

Spirit of Youth invites school districts to
join their efforts as champions for Alaska’s youth

Spirit of Youth knows that there are good things happening in our state and young people are often at the heart of them. For 22 years Spirit of Youth has empowered Alaska’s youth through statewide, media-based youth recognition programs. Since their start they have shared thousands of positive stories about Alaska’s youth through television, radio, print and public recognition.
Spirit of Youth relies on community members to let youth know they matter by making a nomination for recognition. All nominees are publicly recognized in their communities and receive a certificate signed by the Lieutenant Governor. Nominations help create opportunities for youth leadership and allow teens to share their voices and get recognized for their contributions.
Of nominees, eight youth or youth groups and eight runners-up are selected to receive Spirit of Youth Awards including a scholarship. All Alaskan youth ages 12-19 are eligible.
Do you know a teen or youth group doing something positive in your community? Nominate them for Spirit of Youth recognition at

‘Going old school’: Anchorage school lunches are getting a makeover
Tegan Hanlon, Anchorage Daily News
|
The Anchorage School District is moving away from prepackaged TV-dinner-style lunches served in throw-away plastic trays in an effort launched this year to reduce trash and increase the appeal of student meals.
Instead, cafeteria workers will scoop food directly onto students’ reusable trays as they move through the lunch line, said Andy Mergens, the district’s senior director of student nutrition.
It’s a big transition for a decades-old system, Mergens said. He likened it to “going old school.”
“It’s fresher, it’s more appealing, it tastes better,” he said. “The other thing is, it’s far less waste.”
