This is a gift link, so free to read. I would love to see minimal standards for health and wellness checks, participation in statewide annual educational assessments, and social interaction for homeschooling students. #education

“Sen. Löki Tobin, an Anchorage Democrat who chairs the Senate Education Committee, said the lack of a comprehensive state fiscal plan is the “elephant in the room.”
Tobin said it’s unlikely that another BSA increase will pass the Legislature this year.” #alaskasky #education #akleg #educationfunding
Some Anchorage School Board members say an $83 million budget deficit facing the district next year cannot be solved without massive cuts to educational programs and increased class sizes.
More proposals for cuts coming as Anchorage School District again stares down massive deficit
The district has no reserve funding to draw from this year, and an estimated $83 million deficit.

Check in with the educators you know. Talk with your neighbors . It would be a shame for this to sneak up on community members. #alaskasky #anchorage #anchorageschooldistrict #anchorageeducationassociation #education
The Anchorage Education Association is warning of a potential strike vote as it prepares to head to arbitration with the Anchorage School District amid an impasse over a new contract for teachers. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

I’m really trying to accept this at face value and not view it as public positioning in reaction to teacher contract negotiations. #asd #alaskasky #education #anchorage #anchorageeducationassociation #anchorageschooldistrict

Spoiler alert: we are not. Don’t do it! Don’t get sucked in to private equity investing as a retail consumer! High costs are gonna eat your gains. And the gains are on the decline as well. #investing #savingforretirement #401k

"Alaskans for Fair Courts" and "Justice Not Politics Alaska" are two groups I believe are already working on this issue from the other side. Trying to retain good judges.
