Anchorage School Board
Creating a high performing district
Agendas, memos and documents
School board documents are now available through BoardDocs. Documents prior to October 2012 are in the board archives. Board committee information is available under the "Library" tab. Policies are also now available under the "Policies" tab.
The Anchorage School Board is a municipal-wide elected body with governance responsibility for the Anchorage School District. As a governance board, it is our responsibility to:
- set a clear direction for the district;
- empower and hold accountable the superintendent for implementing our direction and managing district operations;
- develop and adopt policies and budgets that support and implement the board’s direction; and
- model the professionalism and degree of effort they expect from students, families and staff.
Destination 2020
Destination 2020 is the district’s comprehensive, multi-year plan to increase student achievement. It is built on the district’s mission, vision and core values as outlined by the school board.
Meetings and events
The Anchorage School Board meets twice a month. Early meetings begin at 2:30 p.m., executive sessions at 5:30 p.m., and regular meetings at 6:30 p.m. Regular meetings may be watched live on ASD-TV or cable channel 14 and are also available on-demand in video and audio podcast formats. On-demand availability is delayed a day or more due to processing time required.
Testify before the board
You may sign up to testify before the board on an agenda item of interest to you or if you wish to address an item not on the agenda. Speaking time is limited to three minutes.
