REAA / CRSA General Information
Latest update: July 13, 2009

Information about Regional Educational Attendance Areas and Coastal Resource Service Areas,
followed by names, addresses, and seat designations for each REAA and CRSA

General Information:

REAA stands for Regional Educational Attendance Area. Each REAA is a school district in a rural area of Alaska. Elections of the school boards are conducted by the Division of Elections since they are in unincorporated areas of the state. For more information on REAAs, or school districts in general, visit the Department of Education website.

CRSA stands for Coastal Resource Service Area. Like the REAAs, CRSAs are located in rural, unincorporated areas of the state. Elections of the boards in unincorporated areas are conducted by the Division of Elections. For further information on CRSAs, visit the Alaska Coastal Management Program website

Elections are held annually on the first Tuesday in October.

To file for a vacant seat, a candidate must be registered and reside within the boundaries of the section of the REAA or CRSA assigned to the seat for which they are filing. A Declaration of Candidacy must be received by the first Friday in August if it is being filed in person, or postmarked by the first Friday in August and received within ten days to be valid for the election.

Each term of office is for three years. If a board member resigns before their term is up, and the Division of Elections is notified by July 15, that seat will be on the ballot of the election held that year. If a board member resigns after July 15, another person is appointed by the board to serve until the following regular election. The seat is listed on the next appropriate ballot, and a candidate is then voted on to complete the term of office.
