Business partners highlight no-cost programs and PTA fundraising options at ASD summit
Summary
Presenters said the summit included business and community partners invited to share resources and programming—some described as free to schools—and options for PTAs to raise money. Examples cited included Chuck E. Cheese, BLM and Volunteers of America.
Presenters at the Anchorage School District leadership summit said business and community partners were invited to share resources, including curricular supports offered at no charge to schools. "Some of them offer educational programs that support our curriculum and are at no charge to our schools and our students," a presenter said.
The same presenter said the invited partners represent a range of services and fundraising opportunities for Parent Teacher Associations. "Any any everyone from Chuck E. Cheese to BLM to Volunteers of America, they're all here to help support our schools and help them grow," the presenter said, naming examples cited during the session. The presenter framed partner involvement as a way to expand offerings to students without adding district cost.
No contract terms, specific program names, or funding amounts were discussed in the transcript; presenters described the partners and programs in general terms and said offerings vary by partner.
