### Public participation in board meetings[edit]

“  |

Public Participation

Because the School Board has a responsibility to conduct district business in an orderly and efficient way, the following procedures shall regulate public presentations to the School Board.

1\. The School Board shall give members of the public an opportunity to address the School Board either before or during the School Board's consideration of each agenda item.

2\. At a time so designated on the agenda, members of the public also may bring before the School Board matters that are not listed on the agenda of a regular meeting. The School Board may refer such a matter to the Superintendent or designee or take it under advisement. The matter may be placed on the agenda of a subsequent meeting for action or discussion by the School Board.

3\. A person wishing to be heard by the School Board shall first be recognized by the president. He/she shall then identify himself/herself and proceed to comment as briefly as the subject permits.

4\. Individual speakers will be allowed three minutes to address the School Board. The School Board president may limit the total time for each agenda item, modify the length of testimony, and/or the ordering of the speakers.

5\. With School Board consent, the president may modify the time allowed for public presentation or may rule on the appropriateness of a topic. If the topic would be more suitably addressed at a later time, the president may indicate the time and place when it should be presented.

6\. No oral presentation shall include charges or complaints against any employee of the School Board, including the Superintendent, regardless of whether or not the employee is identified by name or by another reference which tends to identify. Charges or complaints against employees must be submitted to the School Board under the provisions of School Board policy and administrative regulations related to such complaints.

7\. No disturbance or willful interruption of any School Board meeting shall be permitted. Persistence, by an individual or group, shall be grounds for the chair to terminate the privilege of addressing the meeting. The School Board may remove disruptive individuals and order the room cleared if necessary.[7]

## Teacher salaries[edit]

The following salary information was pulled from the district's teacher salary schedule. A salary schedule is a list of expected compensations based on variables such as position, years employed, and education level. It may not reflect actual teacher salaries in the district.

Year  | Minimum  | Maximum

|
|

2020-2021[9] | $54,069 | $99,523
2019-2020 | $52,367 | $96,390
2018-2019 | $50,719 | $93,356

## Academic performance[edit]

### Proficiency assessments[edit]

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[10]

#### Mathematics[edit]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:[11]

School year  | All (%)  | Asian/Pacific
Islander (%)  | Black (%)  | Hispanic (%)  | Native
American (%)  | Two or More
Races (%)  | White (%)

## Noteworthy events[edit]

### 2015: Superintendent search[edit]

Ed Graff, superintendent of Anchorage School District

In October 2015, the Anchorage School District Board of Education announced its decision to let superintendent Ed Graff's contract expire on March 18, 2016. They offered a short-term extension through June 30, 2016, in order to ease the transition between Graff and the new superintendent. Graff was hired as superintendent in 2013 when Jim Browder left the position. Graff had worked in the district for 22 years before becoming superintendent and stayed in another administrative position in the district after he left his position as superintendent.[4]

Board president Kameron Perez-Verdia explained the board's decision to the public during a press conference. "The board’s reason for seeking new leadership is primarily centered around moving forward. And in order to achieve those goals we need to identify a new leader."[18]

Graff responded to the press conference by saying,

“  | For me, it’s been more important to see the success of students than it is to have the title of superintendent. I remain committed to students. I remain committed to our staff, and public education. And if I can do that in any capacity in our district then I will do that.[7] | ”

—Ed Graff (2015)[18]

The board assembled an advisory committee made up of four members with ties to the school district to assist with the search process. In February 2016, they approved a payment of $39,800 to the executive search firm Ray and Associates, Inc. to conduct a nationwide search for candidates.[19] The board selected Deena Bishop, who was then named Deena Paramo, as the next superintendent.[2]

### 2015: Recall effort[edit]

See also: Anchorage School District recall, Alaska (2015)

An effort to recall four members of the Anchorage School District Board of Education was rejected in November 2015. Recall organizers alleged that Board President Kameron Perez-Verdia and board members Tam Agosti-Gisler‌‌, Pat Higgins, and Kathleen Plunkett misled voters on the 2015 bond reimbursement vote. Organizers also said that the board members violated state regulations by using signs on school grounds to promote bonds and by paying for a public survey on capital projects. The recall petition was rejected by the Municipality of Anchorage because two of the three allegations against the board members were not illegal, and the other could not be proven.[20][21]

The recall was led by Michael Chambers, the chair of the Alaska Libertarian Party, and David Nees, a former middle school math teacher in the district. Nees said Perez-Verdia, Agosti-Gisler, Higgins, and Plunkett were targeted for recall because they were the only four members who could be targeted. The other three members on the board—Eric Croft, Bettye Davis, and Elisa Snelling—were either too close to their terms being up for re-election or were too recently elected to the board.[21]

### 2014: Layoffs[edit]

In January 2014, the Anchorage School District announced plans to cut 219 positions for the next school year. The plan included laying off 159 teachers: 47 from elementary schools, 35 from middle schools, and 33 from high schools and alternative schools. Another 44 positions were terminated because of a projected decline in enrollment. Over the four preceding years, the district had cut about 419 positions. District administrators were working with a $566 million operating budget for the 2014–15 school year, reportedly $23 million short of the funds the district said it needed.[22]
