SITKA SCHOOL DISTRICT 300 Kostrometinoff Sitka, Alaska 99835 Phone: (907) 747-8622 Fax: (907) 966-1260 SITKA SCHOOL DISTRICT www.sitkaschools.org 300 Kostrometinoff Sitka, Alaska 99835 Phone: (907) 747-8622 Fax: (907) 966-1260 RESOLUTION OF THE SITKA SCHOOL BOARD OF EDUCATION Resolution No. 2015-01 IN SUPPORT OF A ROAD TO THE EAST SIDE OF BARANOF ISLAND WHEREAS, the Sitka School Board recognizes that students who take part in extracurricular activities do better in studies, have healthier self-esteem and have an easier time making friends, improving their social and interpersonal skills; and WHEREAS, extracurricular activities include all sports as well as student government, drama debate and forensics, art, music and world language; and WHEREAS, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (July 2010), there is a strong correlation between participation in extracurricular activities and decreased high school dropout rates, as well as students showing greater interest in class then students not actively involved in sports; and WHEREAS, without a road system to connect Southeast Alaska communities, the Alaska Marine Highway System is relied upon to provide safe, efficient and affordable transportation vital to student travel; and WHEREAS, the community of Sitka has the third largest population in the region, yet other communities in Southeast Alaska are receiving nearly daily service while Sitka receives almost none, severely restricting ridership to and from Sitka; and WHEREAS, an all-weather road from Sitka to the east side of Baranof Island would eliminate approximately 120 miles for ferry traffic between the east and west side of the island greatly reducing the substantial amount of school that Sitka’s students and coaching staff miss when traveling on the Alaska Marine Highway; and WHEREAS, the significantly higher cost of air travel, the only mode of transportation currently providing daily service, creates an economic hardship for low income families and unequitable opportunities for students, so much so that the Sitka High School Student Council’s number one concern is the cost of travel prohibiting students from participating in extracurricular activities. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Sitka School District does strongly urge the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities to include not just an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and design of a road, but actual construction in the Southeast Alaska Transportation Plan; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution shall be effective immediately; and BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the members of the Sitka School Board are hereby authorized to take all action necessary to effect the foregoing resolution. CERTIFICATION I hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was adopted by the Sitka Board in accordance with its organic documents at a meeting of the Sitka School Board held on September 10, 2014 and said resolution appears in the record of said meeting as set forth above. Passed and Approved on September 10, 2014 _________________________________ Lon D. Garrison, Board President “Educating our children to realize their potential and contribute in a connected global society.” .

Knapp December 2002 A'-.' University ofAlaska Southeast ~ Juneau • Ketchikan • Sitka January 13, 2003 Enclosed is a copy of a publication titled: A Brief History of the University of Alaska in Sitka; The First Forty Years, by David R. Knapp, December 2002. The UAS-Sitka Campus commissioned Mr. Knapp to document the history of the University of Alaska's involvement in Sitka and theSE Alaska region. It is intended to give new university personnel a brief history of the University's evolution of higher education in Sitka. It will also be valuable for the Sitka campus advisory committee members and interesting for general community readers. As the campus' second full-time director in 1972, Mr. Knapp is particularly qualified to author the document. He has researched a variety of historical communications and has interviewed all past directors, as well as other university and community individuals who have had an historical roll. It is my hope that the university community will find it to be interesting, informative, and entertaining reading. Sincerely, Redacted for Privacy John W.

  • 2020-2021 [FY21] Budget
    2020-2021 [FY21] Budget Prepared by: Dr. Mary Wegner, Superintendent Cassee Olin, SFO, Business Manager April 28th, 2020 Mayor Gary Paxton and Members of the Sitka City and Borough Assembly, On behalf of the Sitka School District, I submit to you our FY21 Budget for consideration regarding the level of local contribution. These documents are the final result of a multi-month budget process that provided opportunity for public participation, and valued all forms that came in. The discussions surrounding our FY21 Budget encouraged our community to holistically look at the Sitka School District’s budget in the context of how it relates to the economic challenges of our Local and State Government. The Sitka School District has and will continue to strategically allocate all resources made available to us to support our children and our community in every way we can. Thanks to a process that has been refined year after year, our budget deliberations facilitated valuable dialogue with the community around what is truly needed to best support student learning. It is our responsibility to carefully monitor and assess the effectiveness and impact of the dollars we spend in educating Sitka’s youth by engaging in conversations with all in our community who have a connection to a child in our District some way or another. If there is one thing that has become clear, it is that our children are going to need a strong educational system now more than ever. While preparing the budget before you, I can state in confidence that every decision was made through a lens of seeking out what is going to be the best choice for our kids.
