The plan will let the district close Floyd Dryden Middle School, the Marie Drake building and the district office.

Juneau School District Superintendent Frank Hauser and finance consultant Lisa Pearce listen to speakers at a school board meeting on Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024.

At a packed school board meeting on Thursday — with more than 500 others watching online — Juneau Education Association president Chris Heidemann said flat funding from the state was the main cause of deficits in districts across the state. “Does the student who wants to be a welder or a carpenter or to work at the mine not deserve the resources and support that I get? Is their path in life less important or less respectable than mine?” she asked.

Thunder Mountain High School students spoke against combining the high schools at all, saying that they enjoy being able to choose between two high schools with distinct climates.
