The Anchorage School Board needs to pass a balanced budget by March 1. With nearly flat funding from the state, the district is facing a million dollar shortfall. That could mean cutting jobs, increasing the student to teacher ratio, and closing an elementary school. But the budget process isn’t over yet. On this episode of Hometown, Alaska we’re talking about the school district budget, how it’s determined, how the school board works and more.
