Juneau Schools

School district has no way to find out if graduates follow through with their plans after high school.

Terms of the agreement will be disclosed after it is ratified by both the Juneau School Board and membership of the Juneau Education Association.

While 15 percent of the state’s population is Alaska Native, fewer than 5 percent of its teachers are.

Dillingham previously taught health, physical education and science in Juneau at the middle and high school levels.

Members of the Alaska Native Sisterhood, parents and concerned community members told the School Board the programs that help Native students graduate should be a higher priority.

Superintendent Mark Miller says adding priority items back into a base budget is a better way to solve the problem of how to cut the budget.
