Abstract	The Legislative Budget and Audit Committee of the Alaska Legislature has asked The Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Alaska Anchorage to make certain changes and adjustments to the Geographic Cost of Education Index (GCEI) that the American Institutes for Research (AIR) constructed and reported on in Alaska School District Cost Study (January 2003). The requested changes address a number of the questions and criticisms that were raised by ISER in its review of the AIR study (A Review of Alaska School District Cost Study, January 29, 2004). The specific tasks included updating data sets, adjusting the index for actual energy costs, and reviewing travel and budget share assumptions. The most significant task was to address deficiencies in AIR?s certificated personnel compensation component that had been identified in ISER?s initial review. ISER was also asked to reestimate the overall cost index, once other tasks were accomplished. Appended are: (1) Estimation of Cost Differentials for Certificated Personnel, and (2) Evidence of Differences among School Districts in Ability to Fill Teaching Positions. (ERIC).
