The FLOAT School program is funded by the Alaska Education Grant, a three-year grant aimed at increasing standardized test scores among Alaska Native schoolchildren. This grant was awarded to the Craig School District. Wrangell Alaska Crossings is responsible for all wilderness education components do the grant. Although the current source of funding expires in 2005, the FLOAT School program has been such a success that plans are already underway for renewing the grant. We look forward to many more years of collaboration with the six consortium school districts to bring Alaska’s Native students above and beyond state standards.
