flag Alaska delays school funding rule amid public opposition and concerns over $15M loss in Anchorage.

flag The Alaska Department of Education is urging a delay on a controversial rule that would change how local government funding for schools is counted, citing the need for further review after more than 600 public comments opposed the shift. flag Originally pushed as an emergency measure to meet federal equity requirements, the rule could reduce school funding by up to $15 million in Anchorage alone, threatening services like transportation and snowplowing. flag Critics argue it would harm students and communities without solving the state’s broader funding challenges. flag The State Board of Education is set to discuss the proposal, with officials now recommending a pause to ensure clarity and public input.
