the Anchorage School District has proposed moving sixth graders, who mostly attend school at district elementary schools, to middle school, alongside seventh and eighth graders.
The shift would eliminate a class period of teacher collaboration time, which would save costs, Johnson said.Anchorage School District says language immersion is now ‘off the table’ for budget cuts, while recommending other cuts and changesThree Anchorage middle schools — Begich, Clark and Mirror Lake — already have sixth graders, and having some students in the same grade levels at middle and elementary schools poses some logistical issues, Johnson told the school board on Tuesday.
