Education is that which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding. Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) U.S. journalist and writer.
While not a complete antidote, a formal education will prevent us from spend our years stumbling down the path of un-elightened foolishness.
The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District is comprised of 34 elementary, middle,
junior, senior, career tech and charter schools as well as several alternative learning programs. A staff of 1,908 teachers, counselors, principals and district administration serve a student population of 14,103. Although varying from school to school, the district teacher to studen ratio is 1 in 22. Instructional services and student activities account for 72.5% of the school district's budget, which translaters to roughly $9,300 spent on each child in the Fairbanks district. 2006-2007 District Report Card Short Version.
State law requires every child between 7 and 16 years of age to attend school. Any child who will be 5 years old on or before September 1 is eligible to attend kindergarten. Children must be 6 years old on or before September 1 to attend first grade. New students need to enroll at the school they will be attending. When schools are closed for the summer, new students are encouraged to register in the Student Records Dept. in the FNSBSD Administrative Center, 520 Fifth Ave. (452-2000, x361).
A copy of the child's birth certificate is required for all pupils entering kindergarten and for first graders who haven't been enrolled in the district before. All new students must submit proof of immunization before being admitted. Please bring a copy of the student's transcript or report card to help with class placement. Also, proof of residency (utility bill such as phone, water, electric, etc.) is required at the time of registration. View Immunization Requirements for the FNSB School District.
