  • Minority Leadership Program Nominations due May 11, 2022

    The OEC team is excited to enter the third year of the Minority Leadership Program. Applicants may self-nominate or be nominated by their peers or principal/supervisor. Each principal or supervisor will be asked for an acknowledgment of application completion. The applications are open and available in the ASD internal postings in Applitrack. The nomination deadline is May11th , at 11:59 p.m. AKST. The program was created to educate, engage, and empower staff of color to ascend through the ranks of leadership within ASD. From department chairs to administration, a critical aspect of the District's staffing and hiring is the recruitment, retention, and promotion of a diverse workforce. Ultimately, creating a more diverse staff will benefit students, schools, and communities. While this program does not guarantee a job, it does create an internal pool of possible applicants. The culture of the program is one that promotes opportunities where staff can create networks of support and continued learning. In partnership with the University of Alaska, the program is now a two-credit course.

     

    There will be an informational meeting held on Tuesday, April 26th at 6 p.m. via Zoom. Some of the program’s past participants will share their journey in the program and into new roles. All questions may be directed to Sonya Hunte, Senior Director of Equity and Compliance, via email (Hunte_Sonya@asdk12.org) or phone (742-4130).
