The Alaska Commissioners of Education from 1917 to the present are listed, followed by a phone directory of the department, and general district and school information. The section on student information gives average daily membership at public schools, Alyeska Central School, and Mt. Edgecumbe High School; vocational school enrollment and graduates; numbers of bilingual/bicultural, special education, gifted/talented, and migrant students; and the number of high school graduates and GED recipients. Alaska averages and national averages are given for SAT and ACT test scores. The section on staffing information contains certified staff by gender; salaries for teachers, building administrators, central office staff, and specialists; and pupil/teacher ratios. Number of students served and state reimbursements are given for boarding homes. Information on pupil transportation covers numbers of students transported, costs per pupil per day and per year, and total costs. Local, state, and federal revenues are presented, as are expenditures by cities, boroughs, and rural school districts. For national food programs, information is presented concerning total numbers of meals served, percent of total meals that are free or reduced-priced, amount of federal reimbursement for food programs, and value of commodities donated by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture.
