From the transcript
Chair Kiehl, Co-Chair Tobin, and Co-Chair Himschoot, and members of the committee. For the record, my name is Dr. Lisa Parady, and I am the Executive Director of the Alaska Council of School Administrators. On behalf of Alaska's education leaders, thank you for your extensive work and for taking the time to meet directly with superintendents on two separate occasions. We especially appreciate your visit to our school districts, listening to students, families, educators, and community members, and seeing the conditions in which teaching and learning take place brings an essential perspective to these recommendations. Last week, ATSA, along with AASB and NEA Alaska, sent each legislator and the governor-elect a letter asking for 4 action items: full and forward funding, restore pension for public service, and invest in major maintenance school capital construction.
