Many of the proposals presented to the school board have later start times for middle and high school students and earlier start times for elementary students.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The bell could be ringing later for students soon and there are town halls and online surveys available to gauge how public input could impact a decision.

“The whole point of school is to set up our kids for success in the rest of their life, and currently we’re setting them up for failure,” Laura Herman, an Anchorage resident, said. “I really hope that a change is happening ASAP.” “It can make a huge difference if a student gets the recommended amount of sleep for their age category,” Bingham said. “They tend to be more alert in class. They tend to have mental health benefits where they are happier, more comfortable being in school.”

Anchorage voters to decide on using marijuana taxes to fund early education, child care programsWhile there hasn’t been a lot of organized opposition to Anchorage's Proposition 14, marijuana industry leaders have a few concerns. This is nothing more than a property tax increase. In 2022 the Marijuana / Pot tax brought the Muni $5.8M. Reducing the Tax Cap by $1 Million means the other $4.M will immediately be replaced by Property Tax. Same thing happened with the gas tax and alcohol tax.
