State legislators released a spate of bills aimed at public education curricula last week, including several from Soldotna Republican Sen. Ron Gillham.
Gillham said he is thinking about critical race theory, or CRT – an academic framework that’s become a rallying cry in conservative circles for fighting back against a perceived progressive ideology in schools.
District Spokesperson Pegge Erkeneff said the district looks at new education bills when they’re introduced to see if they align with the district’s legislative priorities. She said the district will be looking into the bills proposed this week in the next few days, “The education reform package proposed by Rep. Gillham does not address the urgent needs I’m hearing from Alaska educators or the students they serve,” he said. “NEA-Alaska is eager to work with any and all parties to improve educational achievement and student learning. Unfortunately, this package of bills does not appear to be productive, practical, or a strategic investment in our public education system.
