Citizens for the Educational Advancement of Alaska's Children (CEAAC):Organization Type: Non Profit Category: Parent, Individual, and Community Involvement Spike Jorgenson Executive Director spike@pobox.com http://www.ceaac.net P.O. Box 132 Tok, AK 99780 CEAAC does not promote a rural versus urban or a native versus non-native approach to school program funding problems or to the school facilities problems which have been identified. CEAAC does not advocate that any public school funds be taken away from one group of children and given to another. We are looking for solutions that will be of value to children throughout Alaska, wherever they live and regardless of their race. It is CEAAC's position that all students in Alaska deserve adequate school facilities and excellent school programs. Children are too young and too powerless to speak for themselves on this issue. We sincerely believe that the responsible adults in Alaska - and that is all of us - need to be willing to step forward and advocate for the children of Alaska.
