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.
