Creating a high performing district

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:

1. set a clear direction for the district;
2. empower and hold accountable the superintendent for implementing our direction and managing district operations;
3. develop and adopt policies and budgets that support and implement the board’s direction; and
4. 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.
