Funding Our Schools

Our Children Cannot Afford Another Year of Underfunded Schools.

We believe every child deserves access to a high-quality public education, regardless of where they live. Strong schools are the foundation of a strong future for Alaska, and they need to be reliably and fully funded every school year.

The Issues

Funding Gap

Districts aren’t facing temporary cuts but a structural funding gap that increases year after year.

Teacher Turnover

Teacher turnover in some districts reaches 30% or higher, with major impacts on student outcomes.

Falling Behind

Due to significantly higher costs to run and a severe lack of reliable resources, rural students in Alaska are falling behind.

Our Solutions

Stable Funding

Establish stable, long-term education funding that keeps pace with inflation and actual costs.

Retain Teachers

Invest in competitive pay & incentives to recruit and retain teachers, resulting in reduced turnover in high-need districts.

Close Gaps

Advocate for policies that close the funding gaps in rural education while also improving teacher retention and expanding access to high-need technologies in these areas.

Advocating for an Alaska that works for all of us, in our daily lives and the future we’re building together.
