Description:  "The Sitka School Board acknowledges that our schools are located on the ancestral homelands of the Tlingit people who have lived in Sheet’ka since time immemorial. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Tlingit for their enduring care and protection of Tlingit Aani." 

Description:  (All items listed under Agenda & Consent Agenda are considered routine by the School Board and will be approved in one motion. Items may be removed at the request of a School Board Member.) 

Description:  Persons to be Heard Preamble 
Persons to be Heard is an opportunity for members of the public to speak to the Board about a topic that either is on the agenda or is not on the agenda.  No board deliberation or action will occur in response.  Questions for clarification on non-agenda items may be posed by Board members.  The Board may choose to refer non-agenda items to the Superintendent (or designee) for further action.  The standard time limit for comments will be 3 minutes, unless otherwise stated by the Board President, with consent of the Board.  A timer is used, and a sound will indicate when time expires. 
All comments must be respectful and charges or complaints against specific employees are not permitted (per Alaska state statute).  Members of the public are referred to Board Policies 1312, 1312.1, 1312.2, 1312.3 (and associated Administrative Regulations), as well as to Board Bylaw 9323(a), for information about how to lodge complaints. Speakers are also asked to please state their full name for the record, prior to speaking. 

 
 

Description:  At its July 2024 meeting, the AASB Board of Directors reviewed the current resolutions scheduled to sunset. The Board has recommended sunsetting some of these resolutions, as well as a number of resolutions not scheduled to sunset this year, to streamline and consolidate them.

Efforts were made this year to consolidate some resolutions to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness for the advocacy team. Consequently, the resolutions being consolidated are recommended for sunsetting, with a new resolution number assigned to the consolidated resolution. Additionally, a few new resolutions have been put forward by the Board of Directors for the membership’s consideration.

Without a resolution, AASB cannot take a position if approached by the legislature or other parties. As school districts review the resolutions and consider any suggested new resolutions or amendments to current ones, AASB recommends that districts consider if there are any topics that are not currently covered by any AASB resolutions.
