The Yakutat School Board is made up a dedicated bunch of community members who volunteer tirelessly for the benefit of students.
Steve and Jennethan Kaufman has a long-time connection to the community of Yakutat (through Jennethan's family) and have spent years volunteering in the school (including feeding our kiddos for a couple of years). Steve, as the YSD School Board President, and Jennethan, YSD School Board Treasurer, have taken a leadership role on the board that continues to support and move the board forward.
Casey Mapes, a long-time CBY Assembly and YSD School Board volunteer, is a graduate of YHS and raised all three of his children in the district. Casey's historical knowledge, as a previous assembly member and school board member, add a foundation to the decision-making discussions. Additionally, Casey is exploring becoming a lifeguard to help with swimming opportunities for our children and will be the volunteer Track coach in the spring.
Rachel Fraker is Yakutat graduate with two kiddos in the school. One of our youngest board members, Rachel brings with her an enthusiasm for learning about the business side of the school and works to support the school in a multi-faceted manner.
Reine Pavlik (not shown here), has a background in education (including being a certified teacher herself) and brings a unique perspective to the board. Reine has a little coming up through the ranks who will be joining the school students in a couple of years.
Shout out to these amazing volunteers!
