Who We Are

Coalition for Education Equity works to ensure the right to quality education for every Alaska student.

We are a statewide, member-based nonprofit organization that champions quality, equitable and adequate public education for every Alaska child. Our organization represents Alaska school districts, organizations and individuals to advocate, develop initiatives, and take legal action to ensure each Alaska child has access to an exceptional education.

What We Do

Coalition for Education Equity holds Alaska lawmakers accountable for decisions that impact education for our next generation.

Our priorities drive the work we do. We strive to ensure:

• Adequate investment in public education

• The recruitment and retention of quality educators

• Funding for school construction and major maintenance

• Statewide access to high-quality pre-elementary programs

• Ensure adequate capacity of school districts and DEED

Since our founding in 1996, we’ve achieved:

• Positive settlements of the Kasayulie and Moore lawsuits;

• Protection of increased education funding through legal action;

• Preservation and expansion of state funding for pre-elementary programs;

• Reinstatement and protection of over $300 million for REAA and small school construction fund and school bond debt reimbursement;

• Successful advocacy for over $2 billion in school construction and renovation across Alaska.

How You Can Help

We rely on organizations and individuals that share our vision of adequately funded quality education for all Alaska children.

Members, donors and volunteers help support initiatives that directly benefit Alaska’s children and schools. Together, we work to protect the right to quality equitable education for all of our children, and our impact is greater when we work together!
