Show Notes
Alaska schools face severe budget cuts despite a recent funding increase, with districts like Matanuska-Susitna threatening to close three schools due to a $22.5 million shortfall. Class sizes are swelling, and enrollment is dropping, exacerbating the funding crisis. School choice programs, while beneficial, add costs and disrupt economies of scale. Lawmakers are resistant to further funding increases without new revenue, leaving the future of Alaskas schools uncertain.
