Why is the burden of this crisis being placed on our backs? Why is this crisis not being felt in our affluent communities?
Published: 19 minutes agoThe Anchorage School District is in a significant funding crisis. This funding crisis is not a result of anything that ASD did wrong. The blame for this funding crisis falls on the lap of the state government and its failure to prioritize funding for our youth. In recent years, ASD has proposed a plan called “rightsizing,” which involves closing, consolidating or repurposing elementary schools in our community.
Title One schools are in communities with the most needs associated with them, but it seems that does not matter to ASD. By sending these youth to schools outside of neighborhoods, ASD is assuming that those parents, grandparents or other family members have the means and transportation to get their children to these new schools.
