My knowledge is pretty limited; I interviewed for a job at
Lake and Pen three years ago but chose another district. I
am pretty positive that super has resigned, and if I
remember right, they've had one or two more since then.
I've never taught in a level 4 school; maybe this fall it
will be level 5? This may translate into some onerous
requirements for teachers, such as being forced to use a
basal reading program; then again, with high turnover in
the admin positions, there may not be an effective
structure to implement programs. If you're in Anchorage on
April 17 and 18, I'm sure they'll have a booth at the
teacher fair. I'd ask how long the current super and
principal have been there, what strategies/requirements
are mandated due to failing AYP status, how many teachers
are returning. I suspect that level 4 indicates high
turnover as well as extremely limited parent involvement
with the schools--not an unusual situation. Good luck
