Description
00:00:00 Call to Order, Roll Call
00:00:47 Board Requests For Information (RFI)…
00:18:00 Legislative Update
01:01:18 Adjournment to Executive Session for the Purpose of Legal Update,
A
A
C
A
D
Sure,
madame
president,
yes,
we
think
that
this
is
also
a
good
idea.
It's
just
we
want
to
let
the
board
know
that
the
publication
of
asd
connect
and
your
monthly
finance
might
not
meet
up
exactly
so.
There
might
be
new
information,
but
that's
happens
with
bond
information
and
others
so
we'll
try
to
hold
it
and
it'll,
be
the
the
most
update
at
the
first
meeting.
D
But
by
the
time
you
get
to
two
meetings
out,
it
may
not
be
updated,
and
so
we
just
we
wouldn't
want
to
put
something
that
we
had
not
already
shared
with
the
board
and
the
finance
in
there.
So
you
know
whether
it
happens
at
the
finance
committee
meeting
or
at
the
board
meeting
jim
says,
he's
happy
to
have
a
brief
synopsis,
but
please
know
that
it's
dynamic,
okay,.
E
A
E
A
B
Higgins,
yeah
I'm
just
going
to
make
one
comment
from
the
standpoint
of
anybody,
someone
watching
it
at
this
point.
I
don't
know
if
it's
watched
that
much
at
one
time.
A
lot
of
the
discussion
that
took
place
in
the
in
the
finance
committee
used
to
take
place
on
a
full
board
meeting,
but
all
the
board
members
are
showing
up
for
these
committee
meetings,
so
it's
being
affected.
F
Thank
you,
mr
president,
so
I
guess
a
question
for
maybe
staff
and
member
lessons
the
facilitator
of
the
request.
I
know
there
are
some
months
that
the
finance
committees
drilled
in
on
one
particular
topic,
but
there
might
be
a
relevant
update,
and
so
I
guess
are
we
through
this
request.
Would
we
also
be
allow
allowing
staff
to
facilitate
whatever
the
most
meaningful
topic
at
the
time
that
the
documentation
is
issued?
That
newsletter
is
issued,
or
does
it
have
to
come
from
a
committee
meeting?
F
F
D
Anything
that's
really
benign
and
just
updated.
We
would
but
many
of
the
budgetary
decisions
and
updates
that
probably
the
public's
most
interested
in
are
going
to
be
controversial,
in
fact,
for
the
reason
that
they
brought
it
up
about
having
some
financial
constraints.
And
so
I
would
recommend
that
nothing
is
shared
publicly
without
the
board
notification
first
and
understanding
of
it
that
what
but
things
that
are
are
just
information
that
is
going
to
help
our
public
better
understand
the
workings
of
the
school
district.
Absolutely.
D
But
if
there
were
major
decisions
that
could
affect
many
times,
I
mean
even
say
we're
thinking
about
closing
some
schools
and
we're
doing
you
know
like
we
have
had
that
as
something
known
talk
to
border.
But
we
haven't
said
names
of
school,
you
know
and
because
that's
the
next
thing
just
because
we
will
panic
our
employees,
we
will
panic
families
that
there
is
a
manner
in
which
we
engage
the
community
to
understand
the.
Why?
D
Behind
the
information
so
that
it
isn't
just
you
know,
feeling
like
shot
from
the
hip,
but
I
think
that's
what
jim
was
trying
to
convey
like
there's
some
information,
that's
real
easy,
but
others
that
could
elicit
some
feedback.
That
would
be
unfortunate
not
having
a
whole
picture
at
the
board
level
first,
but
but
we
would.
I
would
leave
it
to
the
professionals
who
would
know
that
jim
would
know
that
mr
anderson,
correct
yeah,
okay,.
A
D
E
I
I
think
what
the
board's
going
to
see
is
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
public
information
and
board
briefings,
starting
in
august
as
we
slow
roll
out
between
august
and
december,
all
of
the
possible
options
to
avoid
fy24
fiscal
cliff
and,
and
we
want
it
to
be
public.
So
I
I
certainly
agree.
It's
just.
D
E
A
E
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
give
the
projected
deficit
by
august.
We'll
already
have
a
good,
a
decent
idea
on
projected
enrollment
at
that
point,
to
be
able
to
identify
what
we
believe
the
fy
24
deficit
will
be,
and
I
think
it's
a
good
time
to
start
the
conversation
about
we're
going
to
have
to
make
decisions
by
january
and
february,
knowing
that
the
legislature
will
still
have
from
february
to
may
to
make
other
decisions
that
will
happen
after
our
budget
gets
passed.
Okay
thanks!
So
the
more
we
socialize
it
the
better.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I'll
add
that
the
superintendent
dr
bryant,
as
well
as
mr
anderson
and
mj
tim
bill,
not
only
for
the
community
council,
but
they
will
also
because
this
is
going
to
be
significant,
have
a
comms
plan
for
the
the
entire
proposal
and
they're
literally
working
on
it.
Now
they
are
creating
graphs
and
charts,
and
everything
to
to
visually
understand
what's
happening,
so
even
bigger
than
the
community
council
is,
is
their
their
work.
All
right.
A
F
Men
in
prison,
this
was
actually
a
request
that
occurred
at
our
most
recent
joint
meeting
with
the
assembly
was
looking
for.
I
believe
member
assemblywoman
zolatel
was
seeking
additional
information
which,
to
me,
makes
sense
in
terms
of
a
request
as
to
how
we
intend
to
implement
the
0.5
allocation
coming
from
the
most
recent
legislative
session
and
how
that
will
change
programs
that
we
have
in
place
and
so,
whether
that
occurs
inside
a
finance
committee
meeting
or
through
the
rfi
process.
I'm
indifferent,
dr.
D
D
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
can
share
what
we've
determined,
so
we
have
operated
on
150
000
and
that's
part
of
our.
If
there's
lawsuits
in
regard
to
any
kind
of
safety
or
or
other
issues
that
the
authority
that
we
have
to
go
into
mediation,
that
was
derived
from
prior
policy
that
was
not
moved
over
into
aasb,
it
was,
it
was
collected
as
an
ar
and
we
have
a
stack
really
of
ars
that
are
going
from
department
to
department
for
review.
D
So
we
did
catch
that
when
this
request
came
in
and
and
deb
ingles
can
share
a
little
bit
more
if
you'd
like
that.
But
it
is
what
we
did
was
take
the
policy
and
move
it
to
the
ar.
You
know,
after
the
guidance
when
the
board
decided
to
move
its
policy
and
that,
along
with
many
many
others,
I
believe,
kitty
grant
has
and
it's
one
of
them
in
there.
So
we
can
fast
move
that
we
can
at
the
boards
understanding.
D
A
F
Jacobs
yeah.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
yeah.
I
appreciate
the
information.
I
was
a
question
that
came
from
the
public
that
there
wasn't
a
clear
answer
to
in
board
policy
in
ar
so
I
appreciate
it,
I
don't
really
have
a
as
long
as
the
administration's
adhering
to
that
guideline.
I
don't
know
the
type
of
preference
as
to
when
that
ar
gets
implemented,
but
it
will
be
helpful
to
have
it
right.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
A
A
D
You,
madam
president,
and
the
answer
to
the
first
question,
is
no,
and
that
is
our
recommendation,
but
is
it
currently
practiced?
We
have
moved
to
decrease
entries,
but
they're
often
open,
depending
if
they're
closer
to
a
parking
lot,
but
given
the
most
recent
circumstances,
our
recommendation
is
going
to
become
stronger.
D
It's
coming
from
the
safety
team
as
well,
and
you
are
going
to
get
a
presentation
during
the
superintendent's
update
on
that
and
then
a
plan
for
the
security
vestibules,
and
we
can
share
how
many
at
the
elementary
level
we
do
not
create
vegetables
at
midland,
high
schools.
We
you
we
want
to
move
to
that
single
point
of
entry.
A
G
A
B
A
F
Yep
so
I
had
connected
with
dr
x
briefly
before
a
work
session
here
and
I've
been
trying
to
frame
how
to
make
the
request.
But
at
this
point
I
think
I
can,
if
we
can
add
it
to
the
list
under
long
term,
is
fine
for
now
and
I
can
work
with
the
administration
of
dr
eggs
later
as
to
drilling
it
down,
but
information
regarding
out-of-school
suspensions
over
the
last
year.
That
would
be
helpful
and
you
know
again.
I
can
work
to
drill
that
down
into
specific
data
points
with
dr
eggs
afterwards,.
A
D
A
A
I
H
I
Thank
you
so
the
first
slide
deck
will
just
be
focused
mostly
on
budget
and
and
legislation
that
passed
it
in
the
last
few
days
of
session.
We
got
down
to
so
budget.
Thank
you.
So,
overall
for
the
budget
is
overall,
spending
is
about
17.4
billion
dollars
in
the
state
budget.
Eight
about
approximately
eight
billion
of
that
is
general
fund
spending
in
the
operating
budget,
the
capital
budget.
I
This
is
the
first
year
we've
had
significant
amount
of
money
allocated
or
appropriated
for
a
really
robust
capital
project
bill.
I
think
last
year,
including
federal
funds.
It
was
only
about
1.5,
that's
all
right,
one
point:
100
million
sorry,
and
so
this
year
it's
been
about
10
years
since
we've
had
a
budget
of
this
size,
so
it's
fairly
significant
and
then
you
can
see
on
the
third
line
there.
I
This
thank
you
this
this
slide.
I
don't
know
how
well
you
can
see
it.
It
doesn't
seem
like
very
well
so
I'll,
just
it
just
really
kind
of
shows
the
differences
between
last
year's
ugf
spend
on
operating
versus
this
year's,
and
so
it's
just
under
7
billion
last
year,
and
this
year
it's
8.3
billion,
which
is
a
19.6
increase.
I
The
state
forecasters
continue
to
believe
that
oil
prices
are
going
to
be
higher
than
what
we've
seen
in
the
past,
whether
that
stays
at
a
level
that
will
completely
fund
this
budget,
as
it's
appropriated,
is
a
question
that
everyone
has
so
pardon
of
the
the
focus
with
the
legislature.
This
year
was
to
try
to
maximize-
or
I
guess
I
should
say-
restore
reserves
that
have
been
spent
down
over
the
years,
and
so
they
wanted
to
take
care
of
some
debt.
They
wanted
to
fund
fully
fund
programs
and
services
as
as
much
as
they
could.
I
They
wanted
to
put
money
into
savings
into
these
reserves
and
they
want
to
have
a
robust
capital
budget,
and
so
what
they
ended
up
advancing
in
the
end
was
a
compromise
on
all
of
those
things.
Some
people
wanted
to
save
a
lot
more
than
what
you
see
here
and
others
wanted
to
spend
more
on
certain
sort
of
important
projects
or
programs
services
to
them.
So
this
in
the
end,
ended
up
to
be
a
compromise.
Now
I
say
that
this
is
where
it
stands
today
the
governor
is
set
to
take
action.
I
His
action
is
review
mid-june,
and
so
the
the
legislature
can't
get
the
budget
to
him
sooner
than
that,
but
they
are
in
right
now
in
the
process
of
going
through
that
analysis
on
each
of
the
appropriations
that
were
made
the
so
the
operating
budget
is
mostly
funded.
As
I
said,
capital
budget
is
eight
point
or
eight
hundred
and
thirty
one
million
dollars,
which
is
an
almost
a
fifty
percent
increase
from
last
year,
and
they
did
put
some
money
into
supplemental
spending
as
well.
I
mentioned
the
the
permanent
fund
dividend
amount.
I
I
believe
the
cbr,
as
the
acronym
for
the
fund
is
owed
about
13
billion
dollars
from
previous
borrowing
from
that
fund.
So
that
is
a
constitutional
requirement
that
the
state
repay
that
at
the
end
of
every
fiscal
year,
any
money
that
has
that
remains
in
accounts
that
is
not
encumbered
or
set
to
be
appropriated
over
the
next
fiscal
year
has
to
be
swept
into
a
constitutional
budget
reserve
fund
they.
Additionally,
there's
15.6
billion
in
the
earnings
reserve
account
of
the
permanent
fund
that
is
accessible
by
a
simple
majority
vote.
I
The
legislature
can
access
that
they
are
trying
to
not
spend
more
than
the
pomv
calculation.
The
percent
of
percent
of
market
value,
which
this
year
was
about
3.1
billion
and
so
far
they
have
not
violated
that
statutory
requirement
and
so
that
that
fund
continues
to
grow
and
and
be
available
should
it
need
to
be
and
then
forward,
funding
of
k-12
and
pupil
transportation
for
fy24
is
that
about?
I
think
I
have
a
mistake
on
this
one.
I
I
However,
during
the
final
days
of
negotiations
that
was
reduced
to
make
room
for
other
items
and
other
spending,
and
that
is
assuming
that
oil
stays
above
101
dollars
per
barrel,
should
it
go
below
that
the
first
place
that
money
will
be
drawn
on
is
out
of
the
the
forward
funding
of
education,
the
in
addition
to
that
I'll,
just
it
right
now,
the
projections
are
the
the
budget
is
is
balanced
if
you
will
at
94
dollars
per
barrel
of
oil.
So
if
it
goes
below
that
they
will
start
to
drain.
I
Okay,
so
the
permanent
fund
dividend
and
energy
relief
it
what
they've
ended
up
with
they
started
with.
I
should
start
there.
They
started
with
a
5500
payment
to
alaskans,
which
was
the
equivalent
of
a
full
statutory
permanent
fund
dividend
and
a
1300
energy
relief
check
that
when
negotiations
began,
they
brought
those
amounts
down
to
25.50
which,
for
a
permanent
fund
dividend
that
is
considered
the
50
50
dividend.
So
I
I
know
you're
familiar
with
that.
It's
50
of
the
pomv
draw,
which
I
stated
was
about
3.1
billion
this
year.
I
50
of
that
would
go
to
dividends
and
50
goes
to
fund
services
and
and
construction
projects.
So
in
the
end
they
ended
up
also
reducing
the
energy
relief
check
or
payment
from
1300
to
650..
So
total
checks
will
go
out.
This
fall
at
3,
200
and
assuming
again
that
the
governor
can
keeps
those
amounts
whole
in
the
budget.
I
I
I
I
They
also
went
and
went
back
and
provided
an
appropriation
that
would
make
whole
those
municipalities
and
school
districts
that
utilize
the
school
bond
debt
reimbursement
program
going
back
to
2017,
which
was
the
first
year.
Any
portion
of
that
in
recent
years
had
been
vetoed
and
so
anchorage
will
will
be
getting
90
million
dollars,
not
almost
90.5
of
that
appropriation.
I
G
E
Not
at
all,
through
the
president,
too
member
donnelly
so
for
fy20
through
fy22,
we
actually
taxed
increased
taxes
to
the
taxpayers
the
year
after.
In
order
to
meet
those
obligations
in
fy
17,
we
did
not.
We
used
some
general
fund
money
and
we
use
fund
balance
from
capital.
So
on
the
fy
17
money
we
have
to
repay
the
the
fund,
balance
that
was
left
over
in
capital
and
then
the
general
fund
money
will
come
to
general
fund.
We've
been
talking
to
legal.
E
The
board
would
have
to
approve
this
because,
unlike
every
other
district,
this
money
comes
to
the
district
and
not
the
municipality,
the
board.
Could
you
could
choose
to
offset
taxes
for
the
next
couple
years
and
instead
of
sending
a
tax
notice
in
the
fy
24
budget
for
capital,
you
could
use
this
money
and
defer
taxes
for
that
year
and
pay
it
back
that
way.
E
E
I
Thank
you,
as
I
said,
15
excuse
me.
57
million
dollars
outside
one
time
outside
the
formula
will
be
distributed
to
districts
in
fy
24
pre-k
funding
was
increased.
It's
now
at
50
or
5.7
million
and
the
and,
as
I
put
an
asterisk
on
the
the
bottom
there
again,
that
750
million
for
forward
funding
of
k-12
and
pupil
transportation
is
dependent
on
oil
prices
staying
over
101
at
101
or
over
dollars
per
barrel.
I
I
think
this.
Some
of
this
information
I
know
jim,
as
mr
anderson
has
shared
the
capital
budget,
also
included
hundred
million
dollars
in
school
major
maintenance
funding.
They
estimate
that
to
get
the
that
this
would
get
the
project
list
funded
through
from
project
one
through
54
for
the
the
coming
year.
I
have
been
told
that,
and-
and
so
I've
put
in
here,
just
the
the
projects
that
up
to
number
52
are
anchorage's
projects,
70
and
78.
I
see
I
lost
my
my
little
dividing
line
there.
I
I
we're
not
sure
if
it's
founded
or
not,
but
the
the
amount
of
the
estimated
amount
for
cost
for
these
projects
may
be
lower
than
they
would
be
today,
and
so
they've
just
expressed
a
little
note
of
caution
on
that
front
that
while
there
is
a
hundred
million
dollars
assuming
the
governor
again,
it
makes
it
past
past
him.
It
may
actually
be
funding
fewer
numbers
of
projects,
but
that's
not
completely
certain.
So
I
just
say
that,
with
a
little
note
of
caution.
I
Hb
19
allows
for
a
person
with
expertise
in
a
language
other
than
english
to
qualify
for
a
limited
language,
immersion
teacher
certificate
without
having
a
bachelor's
degree
or
having
completed
a
teacher
preparation
program.
However,
it
does
require
the
school
board
of
the
district
or
regional
education
attendance
area
to
request
an
issuance
of
this
certificate
for
an
applicant.
I
It
has
early
education
as
being
the
first
component
allows
districts
to
include
students
in
early
education
programs
in
the
in
the
foundation
formula
at
0.5,
as
you
were
speaking
to
earlier,
and
includes
pupil
transportation
for
those
districts
that
that
provide
people.
Transportation,
creates
a
targeted
grant
program
for
low-performing
school
districts
to
help
them
either
improve
or
implement
an
early
education
program.
I
It
also
recodifies
the
parents
as
teachers
program.
The
second
major
component
of
this
bill
is
the
reading
intervention
component
establishes
reading
screening
tools
to
identify
students
that
are
falling
behind
districts
directs
districts
to
provide
intervention
services
to
those
students
provides
for
up
to
three
formative.
In-Class
screenings
per
year
for
k-3
students
requires
education,
the
department
to
design
and
develop
evidence-based
screening
in
any
language.
I
Allows
districts
to
select
their
own,
evidence-based
screener
provides
for
culturally
responsive
reading
interventions.
This
was
a
these.
Some
of
these
provisions
were
really
important
to
especially
legislators
in
in
rural
districts,
and
so
this
bill
before
it
was
amended
into
into
the
bill
that
passed
hp
114
was
they
were
still
working
on
some
of
those
components
and
provisions
to
be
added
to
the
legislation
all
the
way
up
until
the
very
the
last
day
of
session.
I
I
The
bill
also
provided
provides
for
a
30
dollar
per
student,
vsa
increase,
which
is
an
equivalent
to
about
7.6
million
dollars
in
additional
spending
per
year.
This
I'm
told
the
reason
that
it
was
that
it
ended
up
at
30,
mil
30
dollars
per
student.
Is
that
you'll?
Remember
that
that
the
house
representative
story
had
two
bills
senate
bill
or
house
bill
272
and
house
bill
273?
I
That
would
have
provided
for
an
increase,
two-year
step
and
then
inflation
proof
it.
Basically,
it
would
be
tied
to
indexing
those
bills,
never
passed
the
house
and
and
and
so
because
they
didn't
pass
the
house
it
wasn't,
they
didn't
even
have
a
vote.
They
just
never
made
it
to
the
floor,
but
because
they
were
not
in
the
senate,
it
made
it
very
difficult
to
negotiate
from
zero
up
instead
of
from
what
those
those
bills
contained
down
and
so
30
dollars
was
the
most.
I
I
I
This
bill,
I
spoke
to
the
the
constitutional
budget
reserves
sweep
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
and
typically
the
legislature,
also
at
the
same
time
they
pass
the
bill.
They
put
a
provision
in
that
that
reverses
that
sweep
and
puts
those
funds
back
into
the
funds
that
they
were
set
up
to
to
fund
certain
programs
and
services.
I
Last
year
they
did
not
reach
the
necessary
three-quarter
vote
to
get
the
reverse
sweep,
and
so
the
higher
education
fund
was
depleted.
It
went
into
the
constitutional
budget
reserve
fund
and
the
balance
is
there.
However,
the
legislature
did
choose
to
recapitalize
that
fund
in
the
budget
bill,
so
I
believe
it
was
about.
349
million
dollars
will
be
going
back
into
that
fund.
This
bill
removes
the
the
fund,
together
from
the
requirement
of
the
initial
sweep.
I
So
should
the
governor
sign
this
bill,
it
will
protect
that
fund
from
from
being
swept
in
the
future.
It
also
it
got
amended
into
house
bill
322,
but
it
was
originally
representative.
Andy
josephson's
bill
that
contained
those
provisions
senate
bill
20
is
the
out-of-state
teacher
reciprocity
bill
that
allows
an
educator
with
a
valid
teaching
certificate
from
out
of
state
to
qualify
for
a
regular
certificate
as
long
as
they're
in
good
standing
with
an
out-of-state
teaching
certificate,
they
have
a
bachelor's
degree
and
they
pass
a
criminal
history
background
check.
I
They
would
not
be
required
to
pass
the
competency
or
content
area
exam,
but
would
have
two
years
to
satisfy
the
alaska
student
studies
and
multiple
cultural
coursework,
and
so
it
also
was
amended
to
include
a
provision
that
requires
the
department
of
education
to
adopt
a
process
to
expedite
issuance
of
these
certificates
to
spouses
of
active
duty.
Military
members.
I
House
bill
34
is
the
state
tribal
education
compact
bill,
and
this
really
directs
it's
sort
of
a
pilot
project,
that's
being
set
up
with
a
five-year
term,
and
it's
directing
the
department
again
to
negotiate
with
federally
recognized
tribes
on
establishing
five
demonstration
state,
slash,
tribal
education,
compact
schools
that
would
be
able
to
operate
for
five
years
and
then
again
the
legislature
would
come
back
to
revisit
that
and
and
see
how
that
process
is
going.
Of
course,
they
could
revisit
it
earlier
if
they
wanted
to,
but.
I
House
or
senate
bill
174
is
a
bill
that
prohibits
a
district
from
adopting
a
dress.
A
school
dress
code
that
would
prevent
a
student
from
wearing
a
hairstyle.
That's
associated
with
race,
prohibits
a
student
from
wearing
a
natural
hairstyle,
regardless
of
the
students
of
the
student's,
hair,
texture
or
type
requires
a
student
to
permanently
or
semi-permanently,
alter
the
student's
natural
hair
or
prohibits
a
student
from
wearing
traditional
tribal,
regalia
or
objects
of
cultural
significance.
At
a
graduation
ceremony,
I
think
that
was
added
late
in
the
process.
I
Legislation
that
did
not
pass
you
might
have
heard
in
the
last.
Well,
probably
the
last
half
of
session
bill.
Two
bills
were
introduced
that
would
have
disallowed
students,
or
I
say
it.
This
way
allow
students
to
participate
in
school-sponsored
sports
based
on
their
sex
at
birth,
and
this
the
house
bill
was
not
heard.
The
senate
bill
moved.
There
were
several
attempts
to
have
it
pulled
out
of
committee,
which
were
successful
and
senate
bill.
I
I
School
bond
debt,
reimbursement
moratorium
did
not
pass
and
bills
that
pertain
to
defined
benefit,
re-establishing
that
program
for
for
school
districts
and
for
teachers
and
public
employees
did
not
pass
I'm
going
to
switch
now
to
then
the
other
slide
deck
and
just
go
through
a
few
of
these,
and
then
I
will
make
both
of
these
available.
So
you
can
look
at
them
and
and
see
the
the
candidates
and
the
races
coming
up.
So
for
the.
D
I
A
presentation
again
as
well,
but
I
I
have
that
in
the
written
written
yeah,
okay,
so
pivoting
to
the
the
elections
for
the
coming
year.
As
you
all
know,
redistricting
occurred,
there
were
several
challenges
to
that
and
it
was
litigated.
The
court
decided
on
the
the
plan
that
was
ultimately
adopted.
District
lines
are
drawn
and
in
the
filing
deadline,
deadline
for
for
the
coming
elections
was
was
5
p.m.
On
june
1st,
the.
I
There
are
because
of
the
plan
that
was
adopted.
59
of
the
60
seats
in
the
legislature
will
appear
on
the
ballot
this
year.
The
only
one
is
senator
donnie
olson
from
northwest
in
north
slope,
who
won't
be
up
for
election
due
to
a
lot
of
folks,
retiring,
redistricting
and
legislators
running
for
other
offices.
I
I
The
house
will
have
a
minimum
of
15
new
members
next
year,
which
is
37.5
turnover.
However,
they
that's
expected
to
be
higher
due
to
some
very
competitive
races
that
that
folks
have
registered,
for
I
will
go
to
the
senate
just
trying
to
keep
track
of
time
here.
The
senate
currently
has
13
republicans.
Seven
democrats.
I
They
traditionally
have
a
much
lower
rate
of
turnover.
However,
again,
for
the
reasons
mentioned,
there
will
be
at
least
a
25
turnover
in
in
the
members
themselves
and
additionally,
there's
an
open
senate
district.
That
representative
garantar
and
assemblyman
dunbar
and
some
others
have
read,
have
signed
up
to
run
in
that
district
zoo.
So
due
to
on
top
of
the
redistricting
there,
we,
as
you
all,
are
aware.
We
adopted
the
ranked
choice
voting
scheme
in
alaska.
I
This
will
be
the
first
year
that
we
go
through
that
process
and
and
so
we'll
see
a
lot
of
interesting
sort
of
see
how
things
shake
out
in
this
first
run
through
the
only
so
how
that
works
is
in
the
primary
you
vote
for
one
person,
the
top
four
vote.
Getters
will
advance
to
the
november
general
election,
and
we
only
have
one
of
those
house
district
35,
which
is
representative
wills.
District
current
district
has
five
members,
so
one
of
those
candidates
will
not
advance
that
four
will.
I
I
F
I
F
I
I
A
A
F
I
I
Because
of
the
way
that
the
budget
negotiations
were
were
happening
and
really
stalled,
everything
out
in
the
last
couple
weeks
of
session
over
the
size
of
the
dividend
and
the
additional
energy
rebate
and
other
items
there,
they
were
at
one
point
believing
they
were
going
to
have
to
go
into
a
special
session
or
extended
session
because
of
they
weren't
going
to
get
to
resolution
on
that.
And
so
it
really
caused
a
lot
of
legislation
to
not
get
over
the
finish
line
that
would
have
otherwise
and
the
how.
