I haven't yet seen mention of the fact that the
administrative offices for the North Slope School District
have been left in chaos by the previous superintendent. Most
of the personnel responsible for hiring, benefits, human
resources, and records, etc. have left those positions. We
are left with a Central Office with no institutional memory
and little organization yet. Teachers currently employed are
often at a loss as to which administrative person to
approach for any particular question.
Things may be getting better. The general feeling among
the teaching staff this spring seems more positive than it
has for the past four years. We are all holding our breath
to see what the school board will do when it chooses the new
superintendent.
This is an extraordinary place to live and can be a
terrific place to work. Hang in there, if you are interested
in teaching on the North Slope.
