Ha! The board being manipulated... very funny. Wife actually WAS given a job thanks
much. She left when he got fired... again. - The sup. was let go in the middle of his
first year... then begged back, after they hired another sup. and then broke contract
with her. Although it was cool because in the week that sup. was hired the district got
stuck with a couple of teachers, one of which was hired as a behavior specialist and
then thrown in as a full time hs teacher - even though this person TOLD the sup that
they had zero classroom experience and didn't feel comfortable.

The board consists of a high school drop out and a convicted drug dealer --- one
that sold cocaine to high school students and is only out of prison because he turned
over on his supplier and took the plea bargain. Oh yeah - and the wife of a very
questionable volleyball coach who was implicated in a molest case. Girl's volleyball...
with no adult female on the away trips... yeah. It’s okay though, because he’ll tell you
he is 100% Tlingit, which qualifies him to be better at absolutely any and everything
pertaining to the school. Until the cruise ships brings tourists and there is money to
be made elsewhere that is. There are some good people on that board but not
enough to out weigh the scary ones.

If the turn over rate isn't enough to scare you away maybe take a look at the fact that
even teachers / staff that have been there for 20 years are now fleeing, in at least one
case leaving town altogether. A man who has raised his family there... uprooting
middle school / high school kids to escape how corrupt the district is and the board’s
refusal to let educator's... I dunno... educate.

Run... seriously.
