The Associated Builders and Contractors of Alaska and Associated General Contractors of Alaska jointly filed a lawsuit against the Anchorage School District over its new student community workforce agreement.

The policy,on March 1, requires school district construction projects with budgets over $1 million to have a student community workforce agreement. The new policy came from school board members Carl Jacobs and Dave Donley, and is intended to provide students with additional work experience for those in career and technical education.

New student community workforce requirement for ASD construction projects passed by school board, opposed by district A spokesperson for the school district said the district’s policy is to not comment on legal matters, but the student community workforce agreement policy was discussed publicly on March 1 during an Anchorage School Board meeting when the board passed the policy 6-0, with member Dora Wilson abstaining.

Before the vote, the policy was met with opposition as many local contractors testified against the policy. Superintendent Deena Bishop also spoke out against the policy and said the district had concerns about the policy.
