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 that support and implement the Board’s strategic plan; 
    4. Approve, adopt, and monitor an annual budget; and
    5. Model the professionalism and degree of effort they expect from students, families and staff.

  • HIGH EXPECTATIONS: The District will foster a culture of high expectations

  • ACCOUNTABILITY: The District will be open, transparent and accountable to the public
