For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Iris Tullar and I am currently a Junior at Steller Secondary in Anchorage, Alaska. I have lived in Alaska my enitire life and although I love it whole-heartedly, I have always wanted to see more of the world. I have recently been accepted as an exchange student in the ASSE summer exchange program to Taiwan. I am really excited about this amazing opportunity and have already put 1,500 of my own money towards the trip. I have also approached my school, which has pledged another 1,500. In appreciation of my school’s support, I am going to be teaching an Intro to Chinese Language and Culture class next year at Steller.  Now I need your help to raise the remaining $3000 due by the end of this month! If 300 people give $10 each, I can go!

Steller Community,

I have heard from many of you about your concern with our fiscal position in Alaska Education and how it is affecting Steller.  I am worried about the impact from an increase in state budget cuts and feel the result will include teacher lay-offs, less course offerings, thus a decrease in student opportunities.

Dr. Deena Bishop, Superintendent, has shared information about a possible reduction in force to ASD staff, as a 5% cut for which the State Senate is proposing would result in a $24 million deficit. This deficit would be on top of the $15 million ASD reduction addressed when the 2017-18 budget was approved by the Anchorage School Board in February. The district’s budget was built on the Governor and State House’s proposal of flat funding, which in these times the ASD administration considered acceptable, although troubling. If a further reduction does occur, programs may be affected — languages, gifted, Special Education, sports, district programs, personnel support, special schools, courses, etc. All aspects of ASD programs and schools will be reviewed for reductions if state funding is reduced. If you are interested in sharing your opinion on the fiscal issues affecting public education, contact information for legislative committee members is listed below.
