(Provided by the Anchorage School District)</figcaption></figure>Bryantt announced last month that he is leaving before the end of the school year to take a superintendent position with the Alexandria City School Board in Alexandria, Virginia.Bryantt said he his time in Anchorage will end in “early 2027,” but did not provide a specific date. A story in the Alexandria Brief reported that Bryantt will start Feb. 1, 2027, under a three-plus year contract worth $310,000 a year. In Anchorage, Bryantt was being paid a salary of $276,000, according to the latest preliminary 2027 budget numbers.Fulp was chosen as an interim superintendent after an internal application process. The school board wrote in a letter to families that Fulp is a “third-generation Alaskan, a longtime ASD educator and leader, and an ASD parent.”Fulp earned a doctorate from Creighton University, according to the school board. Creighton is a private school in Omaha, Nebraska. While there, Fulp worked on Alaska Native and African American parent perspectives on the educational achievement gap. Fulp interned under Bryantt, the school board said.The board also said it will continue its search for a permanent replacement with a vote at Tuesday’s meeting to “consider an agreement” with Hazard, Young, Attea &amp; Associates, a national education consulting firm based in Illinois that helps districts find superintendents, among other services. The firm has been around since 1987.Bryantt first took the ASD job in July 2022 after a stint as an executive officer at a Houston, Texas, school district. He replaced Deena Bishop, who later took up a position with the state as commissioner at the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development.Bryantt’s tenure in his four years in Anchorage was marked by change in the district in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, which closed school buildings and kept students at home to learn via Zoom calls.In recent years, Bryantt was in charge of the district’s plan to close several schools amid a budget deficit in the millions. At last report, the district was facing more than a $9 million deficit. The deficit at one point was reported as high as $90 million that shuttered three elementary schools: Fire Lake, Lake Otis, and Campbell STEM.The “rightsizing” plan — as the district coined it — also included sweeping cuts to all middle school sports, as well as select sports programs at the high school level. The cuts were avoided earlier this year in a school board vote.See a spelling or grammar error? Report it to web@ktuu.com</div></body>
