October 28, 2013
“I think it is time we hear from parents, teachers, students and others involved with our education to see what they think about our education system as it is now, and what type of educational system the public wants to see in the future,” said Committee Chair Senator Mike Dunleavy. Anyone who is interested is asked to submit comments to Senator Dunleavy at Sen.Mike.Dunleavy@akleg.gov or call his office at (907) 465-6600. The public is also invited to comment during next week’s meeting. Public testimony will start at approximately 4:15 on each day. On October 29th, the meeting will start with presentations on how one state became a top performing state and from a Canadian province whose education system is now ranked at the top. On October 30th, the Committee will explore alternative options for education already in place around the state including Interior Distance Education of Alaska (IDEA) in the Galena School District, Mt. Edgecumbe High School, statewide options offered by the University of Alaska, particularly in science and engineering, dual-credit options by Western Oregon University, and choices in the Anchorage and Mat-Su School Districts.
