Our organization represents Alaska school districts, organizations and individuals to advocate, develop initiatives, and take legal action to ensure each Alaska child has access to an exceptional education.
What We Do

Our priorities drive the work we do. We strive to ensure:
Adequate investment in public education
The recruitment and retention of quality educators
Funding for school construction and major maintenance
Statewide access to high-quality pre-elementary programs
Ensure adequate capacity of school districts and DEED
Since our founding in 1996, we’ve achieved:
Protection of increased education funding through legal action;
Preservation and expansion of state funding for pre-elementary programs;
Reinstatement and protection of over $300 million for REAA and small school construction fund and school bond debt reimbursement;
Successful advocacy for over $2 billion in school construction and renovation across Alaska.
