Alaska Sen. Frank Murkowski is now accepting applications from Alaska high school Juniors for the 2001 Spring semester of the U.S. Senate Page School. Page duties consist primarily of preparing the Senate Chamber, carrying bills and amendments to the Chamber desk, taking messages for Members and calling them to the phone, and delivery of correspondence and legislative material within the Congressional complex. A rotation system is practiced so that every Page has an opportunity to experience all areas of Page service.
Pages do receive a salary.
Students also continue to meet their academic requirements by attending classes full-time at the Senate Page School, typically during the mornings, and then report for Page duty in the afternoons. The Page School consists of a rigorous, condensed, accredited academic schedule. Applications are due no later than Friday, November 10. No late or incomplete application packets will be considered. Eligibility for the Spring 2001 Senate Page School program is limited to high school Juniors and all appointments are made by the constituents eligible Senator.
