When it comes to school bonds, the old saying “a stitch in time saves nine” is right. Timely repairs are a fiscally responsible approach to maintaining our schools.
By Matt Fraize, Polly Carr, Cody Oatman, Kim Waller, Chris Lyou, Sara Dykstra, Khalial Withen, Rachel Barinbaum, Zoe Styron and Matt MoserPassage of Ballot Measure 1, school bonds, is critically important for Anchorage’s future. As parents who live throughout our municipality, we hope you will vote “yes” to support a more prosperous future for Anchorage.
Second, consider the geographic scope of improvements on this year’s bond package. Here are schools that will advance if this year’s bond package passes: Alpenglow Elementary, Lake Hood Elementary, Klatt Elementary, Tyson Elementary, Scenic Park Elementary, Baxter Elementary, Ravenwood Elementary, Bear Valley Elementary, Inlet View Elementary, Spring Hill Elementary, Orion Elementary, Romig Middle, Central Middle, Chugiak High, West High, Bartlett High and Steller Secondary.
Anchorage and Alaska are facing twin crises: outmigration and labor shortages. Underfunding of education for years has driven too many families to leave our state, which in turn means employers can’t fill important positions. For our economy to recover, we need to support our schools.
