State requests comments on draft Alaska Education Plan
The state is seeking comments on the draft Alaska Education Plan, which is online at www.eed.state.ak.us. The deadline for comments is midnight Feb. 19.
After reviewing the public’s comments, the department will present the draft plan to the State Board of Education & Early Development. The State Board is scheduled to consider approving the Alaska Education Plan at its meeting on March 19-20 in Juneau.
The draft Alaska Education Plan is the state’s first blueprint for public education. The plan provides the basis for accountability to the public. The plan answers these fundamental questions: What is Alaska’s
vision for our schools and students? What are our goals? What attributes and skills do we want high school graduates to possess? What actions will allow us to meet these goals?
