Legislative Advocacy

• The Importance of School Board Advocacy

  Advocating for public education at the legislative level means using your voice to take action on behalf of your school district. AASB depends on school board members to speak up for Alaska’s students, schools, and communities.

  As elected officials, school board members have a deep responsibility to represent the needs of students, staff, and families. Advocacy isn’t optional, it’s a key part of your role in ensuring strong, effective public education in Alaska.
