The Anchorage School Board listens to ASD officials present the proposed budget during a meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2024. Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s veto of a comprehensive education bill that would have infused nearly $50 million into Anchorage schools.
“We have not lost hope yet, as ASD will advocate to include additional funding in the state’s budget this session. In the absence of funding from the State, ASD will be faced with considering additional budget reductions that could negatively impact our students’ education,” Bryantt said in the statement.
“There’s going to be money in the budget,” Dunleavy said Friday about school funding during a news conference focused on the veto. “It could be $400, it could be $500, it could even be $700 — I doubt that,” he said of a possible BSA increase. That puts the board and the district in the difficult position of likely needing to make last-minute decisions about staffing and programs, Holleman said.
