Under proposed regulations, the Office of Education Advocacy will accept complaints from the public against school districts in Alaska.
Updated: 15 minutes agoWASILLA — The Alaska Department of Education and Early Development is working to create a new “advocacy office” that will allow members of the public to lodge complaints with the state against individual school districts.
The mission of the proposed office is “to empower Alaska’s educational stakeholders through a centralized office, ensuring access to information, advocacy for rights, and assistance in navigating Alaska’s education system,” according to a presentation made by Bishop.In an interview, Bishop said the idea for the complaint process did not stem from any known lack of compliance by school districts with state laws or regulations.
Bishop said “nothing” is currently preventing the department from creating the office, and the department is “moving forward already” on providing additional “customer service.”advertised Association of Alaska School Boards Executive Director Lon Garrison said the office could strain the department’s resources and hamper the local control of districts.
He also said that the new complaint process could stretch thin the department’s already strained services.
