Candidate Survey
Where do candidates stand when it comes to issues relating to education?
We’ve posed questions about educating students in the 21st century, early childhood education, highly qualified staffing needs, ideas to improve Alaska’s public schools, and increased academic expectations and technology needs related to student learning and parent access to information.

Read the candidates’ answers online at www.asdk12.org by clicking on Candidate Forums.
