- Summary:
-
Twenty-seven position papers presented by representatives from educational agencies, regional corporations, and other interested parties in attendance at the 1973 Forum on Education in the Unorganized Borough (Alaska) were reviewed by the Center for Northern Educational Research (CNER) for purposes of identifying implied conditions or actions re rural Alaskan educational policy. Each paper was coded on a matrix by position (s) taken (1 of 10 options) and by factors included (structure, finance, quality of education, transition, legislation, and other circumstances), allowing for indications of positive/negative and specificity/intensity of statements. Major conclusions were: there is real and deep dissatisfaction with the delivery of educational services in the unorganized borough, and it is universal; the Act establishing the Alaska State Operated School System (ASOSS) was conceived with inadequate planning, cursory input from constituents most likely to come under its influence, and lack of foresight as to its consequences; the authority for controlling education should be aligned with the development of local government units as envisioned by Alaska's Constitution; in order to eliminate constituents' fears re local control, an intense period of information dissemination, planning, and training must be provided; reorganization on the basis of local government will require flexibility and planning.
