After approving an $18,000 raise for its manager, Ketchikan’s Borough Assembly is considering another raise for its senior leadership and adding some new positions. All told, borough staff are asking for roughly $550,000 for salaries and benefits. About $150,000 of that is not in the existing budget.
The first request in a staff memo comes for the borough’s second-in-command. The assistant borough manager’s post is currently vacant. Borough officials say they’d like to move the assistant manager to the highest pay scale the change would raise the maximum salary to about $156,000 per year. That’d be a $30,000 increase.

Ketchikan’s school board is set to recognize the work of a high school teacher who has made world peace an integral part of her lesson plans.
The U.S. Institute of Peace chose English teacher Sarah Campbell to participate in their 2019 Peace Teachers Program. She discussed her work at a virtual event sponsored by the Congressionally-funded nonpartisan institution last week.
“Being part of this program has been tremendous and really given me the knowledge and the confidence to bring peace education into my curriculum at Ketchikan High School,” Campbell said.

The search for the next full-time superintendent of Ketchikan’s school district kicks into high gear Thursday.
For roughly six hours, Ketchikan’s school board and representatives of the Association of Alaska School Boards are scheduled to go through applications for the district’s top job.
Portions of the meeting will be held behind closed doors, the school board said in a news release. The board says it anticipates narrowing the choices down to three or four finalists with an announcement by the end of the day.
