To approve a revision to the General Fund budget in the amount of $11,658,787 to allocate the initial funds approved by the State and increasing the total General Fund budget to $616,199,673 with an overall upper limit spending authority of $881,865,741.
ANCHORAGE SCHOOL DISTRICT
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA
ASD MEMORANDUM #006 (2026-2027) JULY 7, 2026
TO: SCHOOL BOARD
FROM: DR. JHARRETT BRYANTT, SUPERINTENDENT
SUBJECT: FY 2026-2027 BUDGET REVISION
ASD Core Value: The District will be open, transparent and accountable to the public.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is the Administration’s recommendation that the School Board approve a revision to the General Fund budget in the amount of $11,658,787 to allocate the initial funds approved by the State and increasing the total General Fund budget to $616,199,673 with an overall upper limit spending authority of $881,865,741.
PERTINENT FACTS:
During the 2026 session, the Alaska Legislature passed the following bills that provide additional funding to the District for FY 2026-27. The financial impacts of those bills are listed below.
On May 20, 2026, the Alaska Legislature passed HB 28 which capped the Required Local Contribution (RLC) increase at 4 percent of the prior year beginning in FY 2026-27. This change results in a net increase in State funding of $6,119,153 for ASD.
On May 20, 2026, the Alaska Legislature passed HB 263 which provided one-time funds for energy relief in the amount of $5,539,634 for ASD for FY 2026-27.
Additionally, this bill could provide estimated additional one-time funding in the amount of $32 million, however, these funds are contingent upon the actual amount of revenue received by the State for FY 2025-26, as determined by the Commissioner of Revenue on August 31, 2026. Because that determination occurs after the school year has already begun, the Anchorage School District has sent a letter to the Commissioner of Revenue requesting additional information and any available preliminary revenue projections to support responsible staffing, budgeting, and operational planning. If the unrestricted general fund revenue for the State exceeds $6,300,000,000 the first $127,340,800 of that excess will go to permanent fund dividends. After the dividends are funded, the next $115,000,000 will be distributed to school districts statewide as one-time payments based on each district’s adjusted average daily membership.
The District has significant needs to address prior to the start of the school year and, in an effort to get resources to students, it is recommended that the following allocations be approved with the initial allocations.
Classroom Teachers - $ 6,819,723
This will provide 50.5 FTE for classroom teachers to adjust the metric for elementary specialist teachers to provide planning time for elementary teachers in addition to adding holdback teachers to address class size bubbles and scheduling conflicts at all levels.
Alaska Middle College School (AMCS) Contracted Services - $437,000
The increase to contracted services is necessary to pay for the cost of student tuition at UAA. Increased enrollment at the AMCS, along with tuition cost increases have increased the amount ne eded to meet the contractual obligations of the program. .
Special Education 504 Coordinator - $151,287
This position was inadvertently left out of the original budget and is necessary to comply with federal requirements for students with disabilities.
Indigenous Education Specialist - $122,061
This position was inadvertently left out of the original budget and is necessary to support ASD’s indigenous students.
Salary Budget Correction – ($204,745)
This is a correction for a position at Whaley that was removed from the budget and represents a savings to the District. The position was eliminated; however, the dollars tied to the position were increased rather than decreased in the budget.
En glish Language Arts Grades 6-10 Curriculum - $2,786,873
This will fund the pilot and adoption of the grades 6-10 English Language Arts curriculum. The current curriculum is not being republished and ASD will need to adopt a new curriculum as a result.
Student Activities Addenda - $460,620
Additional activities addenda is needed for high schools to provide a wide range of opportunities for students. When the sports costs were added back to the original budget, funds for the remaining budgeted activities were included in the amounts calculated to restore the sports and should not have been. Additionally, some addenda for certain positions changed rates and these funds will shore those up as well.
Pending Negotiations – ($460,620)
The District has included funding in pending negotiations to account for unknown contractual and addenda changes. As projections and budgets are firmed up, these funds can be used to pay for the activities addenda need ed in the item above.
Fuel - $75,000
Fuel prices have increased substantially over the past few months and, while they seem to have leveled off, it is still higher than what was projected during initial budget development.
School Board Memberships - $121,230
This will restore the School Board’s memberships to the Alaska Association of School Boards, the National Association of School Boards, the Council of Great City Schools, and the Coalition for Education Equity. Through SB 143, the State has put a greater emphasis on having ethics and budget training for school board members and these organizations provide valuable resources for member districts .
Attrition - $ 914,074
The attrition offset in the budget is used to account for the financial savings of unfilled positions and waived benefits. This allows the District to put the estimated amount of savings into other areas of the budget so the funds can be directed towards student achievement rather than having a large surplus at the end of the year. Given the substantial number of position reductions, the number of vacancies is expected to be lower than in prior years and this would allow a little bit more of a buffer to help meet attrition targets.
Charter schools proportionate share - $436,284
This funding will support the District’s charter schools and is required under Alaska Statute. There are separate calculations for the different types of revenue received. The $6.1 million that is received from RLC changes is provided to charter schools based on the Adjusted Average Daily Membership (AADM) and represents $347,357. The remaining $88,927 is the proportionate share of the $5.5 million energy relief payments. Funds were distributed to districts based on their FY25 proportionate share of energy costs statewide. Funding for the charter schools was determined in the same manner as the State allocated funds to districts.

We want to welcome you to the meeting, and thank you for supporting the work of the Anchorage School District. The mission of this District is “Educating All Students for Success in Life”.
(A Land Acknowledgement is a formal statement recognizing the Indigenous people of a place. It is a public gesture of appreciation for the past and present Indigenous stewardship of the lands that we now occupy.
A Land Acknowledgement opens a space with gratefulness and respect for the contributions, innovations, and contemporary perspective of Indigenous peoples.)
We acknowledge that we gather here today on the traditional lands of the Dena’ina People of the Upper Cook Inlet. For thousands of years the Dena’ina People have been and continue to be the stewards of this land. ASD is committed to diversity and inclusion, and it is with honor and respect that we recognize all indigenous people who live and learn in our community.

To approve and authorize the Superintendent to award a contract for Scenic Park Elementary School Roof Replacement to Roger Hickel Contracting, Inc. for a total award amount of $4,007,230.
ANCHORAGE SCHOOL DISTRICT
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA
ASD MEMORANDUM # 128 (2025-2026) June 2, 2026
TO: SCHOOL BOARD
FROM: DR. JHARRETT BRYANTT, SUPERINTENDENT
SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT: SCENIC PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ROOF REPLACEMENT
ASD Core Value: The District will be open, transparent and accountable to the public.
RECOMMENDATION :
The Administration recommends that the School Board approve and authorize the Superintendent to award a contract for Scenic Park Elementary School Roof Replacement to Roger Hickel Contracting, Inc. for a total award amount of $4,007,230.
PERTINENT FACTS :
In April 2019, Anchorage voters approved $59.113 million for educational capital improvements, which included $3.629 million for planning and design projects. Approximately $35,000 was allocated for planning for the Scenic Park Elementary School Roof.
In June 2023, the School Board approved ASD Memorandum #151-S Approval of Funding Allocation of Capital Improvement Project Funds, which included $5.72 million for design and construction of the Scenic Park Elementary School Roof Replacement project.
The existing roof at Scenic Park is a combination of Inverse Roof Membrane Assembly (IRMA) and a few small sections of metal roofing that have developed leaks, causing interior damage. The roof is generally in poor condition and at the end of its useful life. The general scope of work is to demolish and replace the entire roof assembly, including roof structural/seismic renovations, and addressing snow drift loads.
The total contract award includes the base bid amount of $3,969,500 for the replacement of Scenic Park Elementary School Roof. The total contract award also includes Alternate 1 in the amount of $37,730 to replace existing building light fixtures with new LED fixtures.
In April 2026, the District issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) Number 2026-810, Scenic Park Elementary School Roof Replacement. Four (4) bids were received on May 6, 2026 (Attachment A). Roger Hickel Contracting, Inc. was the lowest responsive bidder (Attachment B). The Administration recommends award to Roger Hickel Contracting, Inc.
Roger Hickel Contracting, Inc. has a successful history of past and recent performance as a general contractor on District projects, including the East High School Earthquake Repairs, Chester Valley and Fire Lake Elementary School Secure Vestibule Upgrades, Homestead Elementary School Safety and Security Improvements, Willow Crest Elementary School HVAC and Roof Upgrades, Chugiak High School HVAC Upgrades Area B, and Chugiak High School Earthquake Repairs.

2025-26 Denali Award employee recognition
Denali is an Athabascan word meaning “great one,” and the Anchorage School District (ASD) is proud to have employees that display greatness in the areas of achievement, service, and dedication. The Denali award is the highest award offered by the District.
About the Denali Awards
Each spring, supervisors submit nominations, and a panel of ASD staff selects a number of employees and a team of colleagues that demonstrate outstanding commitment to the District’s mission of educating all students for success in life.
There are three different categories for the Denali Award: Classified, Certificated, and Team. ASD is honored to recognize two individuals and one group as the 2026 Denali Award winners.
Honorable Mention
The District will also acknowledge several individuals who received Honorable Mention for their exceptional service and dedication.
Extraordinary Service: ASD Typhoon Halong Response
Additionally, this year the District would like to extend the Denali Awards to include a special category, recognizing Extraordinary Service of employees during the Typhoon Halong response.
ASD is honored to recognize a group of schools, departments, and individuals for their extraordinary service. During a time of tremendous need, these employees embodied the values of the Denali Award through their compassion, leadership, and unwavering support for displaced students and families from Western Alaska.
Their efforts helped create stability, belonging, and care for families experiencing unimaginable loss, and their actions reflected the very best of ASD.

Recommend adoption of Resolution ASDR 25-26-02 - Resolution directing Administration to revise the proposed FY27 budget should the 34th Legislature approve and fund a $700 increase to the base student allocation prior to June 30, 2026.
ASDR# 25-26-02
“RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE ADMINISTRATION TO REVISE
THE PROPOSED FY27 BUDGET SHOULD THE 34TH LEGISLATURE APPROVE
AND FUND A $700 INCREASE TO THE BASE STUDENT ALLOCATION PRIOR
TO JUNE 30, 2026”
WHEREAS, the Anchorage School District in October 2025 announced projections of a structural budget shortfall of approximately $80 million for fiscal year 2026-2027 (FY 27); by January 2026, this figure grew to approximately $90 million due to inflationary costs and negotiated labor agreements; and
WHEREAS, the Anchorage School Board strives to be fiscally responsible, highly efficient, and focused on student outcomes when providing public education services; and
WHEREAS , the District reduced administrative and operational staffing by 109 full time equivalent positions (FTE) between fiscal years 2012 and 2026, including significant reductions to Teaching and Learning, Information Technology, Project Management, Communications, Purchasing, and Accounting while it also expanded Mental Health and Preschool services by investing 32 FTE in these new operational commitments since 2024; and
WHEREAS, the Anchorage School Board approved a balanced budget for FY 27 on February 24, 2026 by spending fund balance down to a 5% Board minimum, implementing new administrative efficiencies (as detailed in Attachment A) and programmatic reductions, authorizing cuts to nursing care and athletic programs, closing three schools, switching from a seven-period to a six-period middle school schedule, and adopting a K-12 Pupil-Teacher-Ratio (PTR) increase of +4, thereby eliminating approximately 500 positions and $90 million in structural deficit; and
WHEREAS, Anchorage community input from the 2025-26 school year as well as the last 5 years has consistently prioritized the efficiency of operations, the protection of successful student “pathways” programs, the preservation of a nursing model employing one nurse per school, and class size reductions; and
WHEREAS , because principals have prioritized meeting graduation requirements in next year’s course catalogues, severe pressure from the +4 PTR increase has caused principals to significantly reduce or eliminate secondary student pathway programs such as:
Bartlett High School band and French programs;
Bettye Davis East Anchorage High School band, career readiness programs, and Advanced Placement (AP) programs;
Chugiak High School World Discovery Seminar, career readiness programs, and math remediation opportunities;
Dimond High career readiness programs, immersion and world languages, and almost all AP courses;
Eagle River High School career readiness, yearbook, student government, AP courses, band, and orchestra;
Service High School career readiness, German, and Advanced Placement programs;
South High School yearbook, two world languages, and six AP courses;
West High School Russian immersion program, career readiness, yearbook, and theater; and
WHEREAS , the +4 PTR increase will require elementary teachers at all schools to grapple with substantially increased class sizes and has already created programmatic maladies throughout the District, including the following:
The reduction in the number of available lottery seats across the Bowman Optional Program, jeopardizing the future viability of the program with smaller entering cohorts feeding into the program;
The elimination of districtwide busing to the Rogers Park Elementary Highly Gifted Program, severely reducing the program’s accessibility for high-need students living across Anchorage, Girdwood, Chugiak, Eagle River, and on JBER;
The elimination of most holdback positions, risking unviably small early-grade cohorts in many special programs and threatening program collapse; and
The presence of hundreds of uneven student groupings (“class size bubbles”) that cannot be evenly or effectively divided between classrooms and will result in overcrowded and more mixed-grade (combination) classes than the PTR formula is designed to support; and
WHEREAS, these severe reductions to student pathways in elementary and high schools have greatly reduced the efficiency of learning programs, increasing the risk for a future Board to require additional funds from the State to provide make-up credit and/or individualized student instruction to meet state requirements for student achievement; and
WHEREAS , any additional funds invested in class size reductions for FY 27 and beyond through the PTR formula will greatly improve the efficiency of ASD’s academic operations by generating additional FTE allocations for schools that will restore some or all of these successful evidence-based successful programs; and
WHEREAS, any level of class size reduction for FY 27 will be untenable without receipt of additional, recurring State revenue; and
WHEREAS, while the cost to lower FY27 PTR levels by 3 is $17.54 million, the cost to implement K-12 class sizes for FY27 indicated by the Picus-Odden Evidence Based Model is $95.8 million; and
WHEREAS, the current estimate of the District’s 2027-2028 (FY 28) structural shortfall due to negotiated increases in contracts and projected increases to unsettled contracts, healthcare, utilities, fuel, and liability insurance, as shared during the April 23, 2026 Finance Committee meeting, is projected to be $44.7 million; and
WHEREAS, since the February 24, 2026 passage of the FY 27 budget, the administration has expressed the need to restore two positions which serve high-need students in districtwide programs for intervention and to restore secondary sports and activities addenda; and
WHEREAS, since the February 24, 2026 passage of the FY 27 budget, the Board has committed the restoration of the seven-period middle school day to remain legally compliant with nondiscrimination of students in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act and the Every Student Succeeds Act; and
WHEREAS, the seven-period middle school schedule will likely need to be funded for FY 28 for the same adherence to nondiscrimination; and
WHEREAS, since the February 24, 2026 passage of the FY 27 budget, community stakeholders have expressed a range of priorities centered on reducing class sizes but also related to restoring one nurse at every school; restoring safe, equitable student athlete access to the Dome; restoring the Riflery program; and restoring myriad school- and program-specific priorities via additional allocations of teacher FTE; and
WHEREAS , appropriating any one-time funds to sustain current operations will always increase the structural deficit of future years, unless the Legislature makes recurring revenues available for such future years; and
WHEREAS, the Board is committed to reducing the structural budget deficit to $0 over time, thereby decreasing operational risk and ensuring stability of services; and
WHEREAS, the most effective use of new recurring revenue is a multi-year approach that prioritizes the immediate restoration of high-impact programs while obligating remaining funds to sustain future teaching positions affected by the structural costs of those investments; and
WHEREAS, should the Legislature provide the District any additional or one-time recurring funding, ASD’s charter schools would receive their statutory share before the District would allocate remaining dollars.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that should the 34th Legislature approve a statutory change to AS 14.17.470 prior to June 30, 2026 and thereby provide the Anchorage School District with a stable, recurring increase to the Base Student Allocation of $700 or more per student for FY 27, the Anchorage School Board directs the Administration to divide and allocate those funds, less charter schools’ statutory share of any new revenue, as follows:

To approve the temporary reinstatement of a seven-period academic schedule at the middle school level for the 2026/27 school year.
ANCHORAGE SCHOOL DISTRICT
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA
ASD MEMORANDUM #163 (2025-2026) April 27, 2026
TO: SCHOOL BOARD
FROM: JHARRETT BRYANTT, SUPERINTENDENT
SUBJECT: MIDDLE SCHOOL SEVEN-PERIOD DAY - ONE-YEAR REINSTATEMENT
ASD Core Value: Every student deserves the opportunity to achieve his or her potential.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is the Administration’s recommendation that the School Board approve the temporary (removed after 4/27/26 Board meeting) reinstatement of a seven-period academic schedule at the middle school level for the 2026/27 school year.
PERTINENT FACTS:
Providing a seven-period day for the 2026/27 school year will allow the Administration time to determine how to ensure access to core content, elective offerings, and appropriate services and supports for students, should a six-period day be necessary due to budgetary constraints in the following school year.
With the adoption of a six-period day as outlined in the approved FY27 ASD budget, school and District administrators began to uncover challenges in ensuring that all students could participate in core content while also gaining experience with electives, programs, and needed supports.
Specifically, moving middle schools to a six-period day has exposed the following impacts on student schedules and support:
Removes an elective from all students' schedules
Reduces access to programs and classes for students that ensure individual needs and language acquisition are met
Forces Immersion students to choose between continuing in the program and taking music or another elective
Limits students' ability to experience multiple elective tracks (fine arts, world language, art, CTE)
Decreases teachers' ability to identify struggling or at-risk students
Eliminates cross-curricular collaboration/academic opportunities for students
These impacts not only affect students' opportunities during their middle school years, but also diminish the experiences and skills they take to high school. With the elimination of an elective period, students may lose exposure to a myriad of electives and other academic options when they matriculate to high school. Many students will only receive brief, if any, experience with the arts, career and technical education, and world languages.
By providing a seven-period day for the 2026/27 school year, ASD administration, in all impacted departments, can work to develop an appropriate and sustainable system for student scheduling which prioritizes core material and necessary supports, while also embedding opportunities for elective and program participation as well as a focus on Social and Emotional Learning.
As a stopgap funding solution, three funding sources will be utilized to restore the 26.6 FTE required to support a 5 of 7 period day schedule. Special Education Department carryover grant funds will offset 14 FTE that were initially budgeted within the Special Education general fund.

We want to welcome you to the meeting, and thank you for supporting the work of the Anchorage School District. The mission of this District is “Educating All Students for Success in Life”.
(A Land Acknowledgement is a formal statement recognizing the Indigenous people of a place. It is a public gesture of appreciation for the past and present Indigenous stewardship of the lands that we now occupy.
A Land Acknowledgement opens a space with gratefulness and respect for the contributions, innovations, and contemporary perspective of Indigenous peoples.)
We acknowledge that we gather here today on the traditional lands of the Dena’ina People of the Upper Cook Inlet. For thousands of years the Dena’ina People have been and continue to be the stewards of this land. ASD is committed to diversity and inclusion, and it is with honor and respect that we recognize all indigenous people who live and learn in our community.

We want to welcome you to the meeting, and thank you for supporting the work of the Anchorage School District. The mission of this District is “Educating All Students for Success in Life”.
(A Land Acknowledgement is a formal statement recognizing the Indigenous people of a place. It is a public gesture of appreciation for the past and present Indigenous stewardship of the lands that we now occupy.
A Land Acknowledgement opens a space with gratefulness and respect for the contributions, innovations, and contemporary perspective of Indigenous peoples.)
We acknowledge that we gather here today on the traditional lands of the Dena’ina People of the Upper Cook Inlet. For thousands of years the Dena’ina People have been and continue to be the stewards of this land. ASD is committed to diversity and inclusion, and it is with honor and respect that we recognize all indigenous people who live and learn in our community.

ANCHORAGE, ALASKA
ASD MEMORANDUM #107 (2025-2026) February 24, 2026
TO: SCHOOL BOARD
FROM: DR. JHARRETT BRYANTT, SUPERINTENDENT
SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT: NETWORK EQUIPMENT
ASD Core Value: The District will be open, transparent and accountable to the public.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is the administration’s recommendation that the Anchorage School Board authorize the award of a contract for the purchase of networking equipment to World Wide Technology through the Organization for Educational Technology and Curriculum (OETC), with a combined award amount of $644,264.40.
PERTINENT FACTS:
The District has a need to replace networking equipment that has reached or is nearing end of life. Network switches, routers, and wireless access points are critical to the core infrastructure and will improve the District’s security posture. The applications used by the District require more bandwidth. Replacing network equipment will increase internet capacity and assist with ensuring applications function with minimal disruptions to instruction.
Board Policy 3311, AR 3311.1(d) INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS states “The Superintendent, or designee, may use, participate in, sponsor, conduct, or administer a cooperative purchasing program for the procurement of goods, services or construction with one or more public procurement units in accordance with an agreement entered into between the participants for the purpose of combining requirements to increase efficiency or reduce administrative expenses in the acquisition of goods and services. All intergovernmental agreements must be reviewed and approved by the Senior Director of Purchasing prior to submission to the Superintendent, or designee, for approval.
Such cooperative purchasing may include, but is not limited to, joint or multi-party contracts between public procurement units, including use of local, state, or federal contracts.
Except for contracts for architectural and engineering services, the Superintendent, or designee, may purchase from another public procurement unit’s contract.”
OETC is a nonprofit membership organization providing cost-effective, cooperative technology purchases through a sealed, competitive bid process to negotiate contracts that abide by local and state procurement statutes in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, California, Alaska, and Hawaii. The Anchorage School District has been a member since 1998.
On November 17, 2021, OETC formally issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for networking equipment, software and services including E-Rate eligible, Category 2 technology and related services as a joint cooperative procurement on behalf of the public K-12 and higher education member institutions. The purpose was to identify and award contracts to provide volume price agreements and fulfillment services for the consortium members. Bid opening commenced on January 13, 2022. The resulting ITB authorized World Wide Technology, Fortinet, and Extreme Networks to sell to Alaska based on the contract award.
On November 21, 2025, an E-Rate Mini-Bid was issued to World Wide Technology, Xiologix, Presidio and Extreme Networks. Mini-bid responses were received on December 8, 2025. The District intends to award the contract to World Wide Technology through the Cooperative with OETC Contract number OETC-22B-Networking effective February 8, 2022, thru February 6, 2028, with an option to renew for three additional years. The District will attach to the OETC contract with the same terms, conditions, and discount pricing structure.
The Schools and Libraries Universal Service Program was established as part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 with the express purpose of providing affordable access to telecommunications and internet services for eligible schools and libraries. The Program is referred to as “E-Rate.” The E-Rate Program provides discounts of 20 percent to 90 percent on telecommunications services (voice and data communications; i.e., data networks) and internet access, for eligible K-12 schools. The district typically receives discounts of 60 percent for eligible services.
The District is leveraging the Service Provider Invoice (SPI) process to partially fund this purchase in the amount of $287,161.70. SPI providers file an FCC Form 474 with the Universal Service Administration Co. (USAC), to request reimbursement directly from USAC for the discounted amount for eligible services and equipment provided to the District; and approved on the District’s filing of a FCC Form 471. The SPI Provider must provide the service and/or equipment and only bill the District for its non-discount share before submitting an SPI Form to USAC. The remaining $357,102.70 of the contract will be funded through the General Expendable Equipment (01) Fund.
By using the OETC contract and the Mini-Bid process, the District has ensured that the awarded contract will be E-Rate compliant.

ASDR# 25-26-01(S.1)
A Resolution Directing the ASD Administration to Identify School
Consolidation and Operational Efficiency Options to Preserve and
Strengthen Student Academic Programs
WHEREAS , the Anchorage School Board is responsible for adopting a balanced budget for submission to the Municipality of Anchorage by March 2nd, 2026, and for stewarding public resources in alignment with the District’s mission of preparing all students for success in life; and
WHEREAS , the District is facing a structural operating deficit for fiscal year 2026-2027 of approximately $90 million, driven by sustained enrollment decline, extraordinary inflation that has reduced per-student purchasing power by approximately $1,400, and largely flat and unpredictable state education revenues; and
WHEREAS , the District has projected that even after $90 million in reductions are made for the forthcoming year, continued flat funding from the State would mean that the District’s expected cost increases for medical and liability insurance and to salaries, benefits, services and supplies at rates higher than inflation will require the Board to confront additional budget shortfalls of $42 million in fiscal year 2027-2028 and $30 million in fiscal year 2028-2029; and
WHEREAS , underutilized elementary school facilities, elementary schools with low enrollment levels, more heavily utilized elementary school facilities which enroll students in two separate academic programs at low levels in one or both programs, and small and/or underutilized secondary school facilities strain limited resources, are vulnerable to staffing instability, large or combination classrooms, and reductions in student services, and reduce the District’s ability to consistently provide robust academic programs and student support services across all schools; and
WHEREAS , strategic consolidation for FY27 and beyond would allow resources to be combined to strengthen academic offerings, staffing models, and student supports; and
WHEREAS , in November 2025, the Board declined to advance school consolidation proposals presented by the administration, reflecting the seriousness of such decisions and the importance of community considerations; and
WHEREAS , since that time, updated financial information, increased community focus on preserving student programs, the urgency of the FY27 budget development process, and the administration’s long term fiscal projections have prompted the Board to reexamine whether previously analyzed consolidation options should be reconsidered and/or whether new options should be evaluated; and
WHEREAS , the Board recognizes that although school consolidations and program relocations require thoughtful academic, operational, and equity analysis and that the current timeline necessitates substantial reliance on the most recent analyses conducted by the administration, the Board also recognizes that the administration may still be able to identify new opportunities to promote efficiencies and/or identify options for facility repurposing prior to its adoption of the FY27 Budget;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED , that the Anchorage School Board directs the
Superintendent and administration to expeditiously identify school consolidation and related operational efficiency options that could improve academic service levels for students and generate short-term and long-term savings, including:
1. Previously analyzed school consolidation proposals presented to the Board in Fall 2025, recognizing the urgency of the current fiscal situation and the value of the most current research and analysis;
2. Additional near-term efficiency opportunities , including program relocations, special program consolidations, or co-locations that could yield savings while maintaining or strengthening academic quality; and
3. Options for facility repurposing , including leasing, co-location, or declaring facilities excess where appropriate, to support longer-term fiscal sustainability;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED , that the administration’s analysis shall, to the extent feasible within the compressed timeline, address academic impact, service level changes, enrollment trends, transportation considerations, equity implications, and fiscal effects;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED , that the Board requests identified options be posted publicly no later than February 14, 2026 and formally presented no later than February 17, 2026, recognizing the extraordinary time constraints associated with this request;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that public feedback on any newly identified options or consolidation proposals would be accepted before or during the meeting on February 17, 2026, and that additional written feedback would be accepted prior to the special meeting scheduled for February 24, 2026;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED , that the Board affirms its intent that any near-term savings realized through such actions be prioritized for reinvestment in direct student programs and services, including but not limited to academic supports, student activities & sports, and health services; and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED , that the Board directs the administration to propose a process to develop a long-range school consolidation plan, informed by data and community engagement, to guide future decisions beyond the current budget cycle.

WHEREAS , continued enrollment decline has resulted in underutilized school facilities that strain limited resources and reduce the District’s ability to consistently provide robust academic programs and student support services across schools; and
WHEREAS , schools with persistently low enrollment are more vulnerable to staffing instability, combination classrooms, and reductions in student services, while strategic consolidation can allow resources to be combined to strengthen academic offerings, staffing models, and student supports; and
WHEREAS , in November 2025, the Board declined to advance school consolidation proposals presented by the administration, reflecting the seriousness of such decisions and the importance of community considerations; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED , that the Anchorage School Board directs the Superintendent and administration to expeditiously identify school consolidation and related operational efficiency options that could improve academic service levels for students and generate short-term and long-term savings, including:

We want to welcome you to the meeting, and thank you for supporting the work of the Anchorage School District. The mission of this District is “Educating All Students for Success in Life”.
(A Land Acknowledgement is a formal statement recognizing the Indigenous people of a place. It is a public gesture of appreciation for the past and present Indigenous stewardship of the lands that we now occupy.
A Land Acknowledgement opens a space with gratefulness and respect for the contributions, innovations, and contemporary perspective of Indigenous peoples.)
We acknowledge that we gather here today on the traditional lands of the Dena’ina People of the Upper Cook Inlet. For thousands of years the Dena’ina People have been and continue to be the stewards of this land. ASD is committed to diversity and inclusion, and it is with honor and respect that we recognize all indigenous people who live and learn in our community.
