61. Political FAQ Every decision that affects education is a political decision. How doesNEAalaska make its decisions about which candidates to recommend? http://www.neaalaska.org/govern/politica.htm

Political Frequently Asked Questions Why is NEA-Alaska involved in politics? The legislative and political processes profoundly and fundamentally impact public education in Alaska. This impact runs the gamut from money decisions to the enforcement of student discipline policies and affects all public education stakeholders. Among the stakeholders particularly impacted are the men and women who work in the public school system. Their salaries, benefits, hours, and daily working conditions are directly related to decisions made by local, state, and national governmental bodies. Every decision that affects education is a political decision. Here are just a few examples: School operating monies - determined by Congress and the Legislature, Certification requirements - established by Alaska statute and DOE regulations Curriculum, materials selection, and academic freedom - controlled by local school board policies Student discipline policies - established and ultimately enforced by local school boards Class size or PTR - established by local school boards How does NEA-Alaska make its decisions about which candidates to recommend?

For over ten thousand years people have made their homes in Alaska. Alaska's people are diverse in history and heritage and in their ways of living. This diversity is a great strength.
