A
A
Welcome
to
our
second
virtual
town
hall
for
our
campus
closure
discussion.
Like
last
night,
our
panelists
are
Dr
Mark
stock,
Deputy
superintendent,
Jim
Anderson,
chief
of
Finance
Rob
Holland,
acting
chief
of
operations
and
Eric
bisdi
senior
director
of
Elementary.
A
moderator
for
this
evening
is
Shannon
Bingham
from
Western
demographics.
This
format
will
be
the
same
as
our
in
person.
We
will
have
a
short
presentation
by
Shannon,
and
then
we
will
have
a
question
and
answer
portion.
Those
question
and
answer
segments
will
be
three
minutes.
A
I
will
give
a
30-second
countdown
when
you
have
30
seconds
left
and
then
I
will
give
you
a
courtesy
time.
Please,
when
three
minutes
are
up
with
that,
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
Shannon.
B
Thank
you
MJ
good
evening.
Everyone,
in
addition
to
our
questions.
We
also
have
the
opportunity
for
participants
to
take
a
survey.
B
B
All
over
the
West
school
districts
are
experiencing
declining
enrollment,
declining
birth
rates
and
financial
challenges.
In
the
wake
of
the
covid-19
epidemic,
many
districts
for
the
past
eight
years
have
actually
been
declining
rather
significantly
and
covid
reduced
enrollment
on
average,
by
about
three
percent
in
school
districts
in
the
western
U.S.
So
a
lot
of
districts
are
being
faced
with
low
utilization
in
school
buildings,
less
funding
coming
from
their
state
and
local
governments
and
various
challenges
to
deliver
services
with
appropriate
staff
to
address
the
needs
of
children
K
through
12..
B
As
far
as
Solutions
go,
many
districts
are
considering
reducing
programs,
reducing
centralized,
Services,
increasing
class
size
and
consolidating
into
fewer
school
buildings.
Anchorage
School
District
is
not
alone
in
this
regard
and
we
are
considering
those
four
options
as
we
move
forward
with
considering
our
options
to
address
our
budgetary
shortfalls.
C
Thank
you
Shannon.
So,
at
the
start
of
every
grief,
this
will
be
our
eighth
Town
Hall.
Six
live
the
second
virtual
one
for
those
who
haven't
been
able
to
attend,
I've
been
walking
them
through.
How
did
we
get
to
a
68
million
dollar
shortfall
for
next
school
year,
so
this
chart
in
front
of
you
kind
of
kind
of
provides
the
visual
for
what
has
happened
at
state
level
in
terms
of
prioritizing
legislation
and
decisions
and
what
we've
done
locally
and
then
how
we
got
to
a
fiscal
year,
24
deficit?
C
If
you
look
at
the
very
dark
blue
lines
or
bars
on
the
bottom
from
left
to
right,
you
will
see
that
all
of
them
start
with
5930
and
that
stays
the
same
all
the
way
through
this
school
year,
which
is
fiscal
year
23
and
then
there's
a
30
increase
for
fiscal
year
24,
which
is
next
year.
So
the
5930
represents
the
base
student
allocation,
every
October,
all
of
the
schools
and
districts
in
the
state
do
a
membership
count
for
20
days
and
at
the
end
of
that
they
take
the
number
of
students
that
are
enrolled.
C
It
goes
through
some
formulas
and
then
at
the
end,
it's
multiplied
by
the
base
student
allocation
of
five
thousand
nine
hundred
and
thirty
dollars,
otherwise
known
as
the
BSA.
It
has
been
five
thousand
nine
hundred
and
thirty
dollars
since
the
first
day
of
school
in
2016..
So
every
year
we
have
based
our
budget
for
the
following
year
on
five
thousand
nine
hundred
and
thirty
dollars
as
if
every
year
started
in
2016
and
we've
done
that
for
the
last
seven
years.
C
If
you
look
at
fiscal
year
24,
it
was
increased
by
thirty
dollars
by
the
legislature
in
this
very
last
session,
and
that
represents
a
point.
Five
percent
increase
over
seven
years
inflation
over
seven
years.
If
you
discount
the
abnormally
High
seven
plus
percent
this
year,
I'm
kind
of
averaging
around
two
percent
per
year
is
about
15.5
over
this
same
period.
So
0.5
percent
really
didn't
restart
the
clock
and
allow
us
to
budget
as
if
we
were
in
any
other
year
than
2016..
C
Those
represent
the
district's
use
of
fund
balance
when
there
was
a
gap
or
a
deficit
in
the
last
six
years
and
state
one-time
funding,
which
they
provided
in
fiscal
year
1920s
and
a
little
bit
for
this
year.
But
what
you
really
see
is
the
gold
bars
that
that
is
the
federal
relief
dollars
that
we
have
heavily
relied
upon
over
the
last
several
years
to
be
able
to
keep
providing
the
same
level
of
Education
that
the
community
was
used
to
there's
a
dark
red
line
that
shows
the
inflationary
increase
going
across.
C
So
you
see
these
gaps
between
the
bars,
which
is
the
amount
of
money
per
student
and
inflation
and
you'll
see
in
all
of
those
years.
In
those
gaps,
ASD
has
cut
multiple
things.
We've
closed,
not
only
Amna
Mount
spur.
We
have
merged
multiple
programs,
we've
reduced
staff
from
administrative
down
to
the
schools
in
order
to
get
a
balanced
budget
every
year,
so
by
State
Statute.
The
district
must
produce
a
balanced
budget
and
buy
the
city
Charter.
That
balanced
budget
must
be
approved
in
February.
C
So
at
this
point
we
are
required
to
base
our
budget
on
a
BSA
of
59.30.
For
next
school
year,
even
though
the
state
may
approve
either
a
BSA
increase
or
a
one-time
funding
or
some
combination
of
historically,
that
decision
wouldn't
be
finalized
until
May
or
June
and
and
with
a
February
budget
requirement.
C
That's
why
we
started
so
early
this
fiscal
year.
In
fact,
at
the
end
of
July
and
we've
now
had
11
or
12
board
meetings,
where
we
have
talked
about
all
the
different
possible
options,
we
promised
the
board
that
we
would
lay
out
every
cost
driver
from
immersion
programs
and
ignite
from
Sports
and
activities.
C
Two
school
closures,
which
is
only
one
of
many
many
different
things
that
we've
laid
in
front
of
the
board
and
this
next
month
the
board
will
make
some
very
difficult
decisions
that
will
allow
us
to
go
into
January
and
finalize
the
budget
bill.
So
they
can
start
deliberating
on
it
in
the
month
of
February.
C
D
Thank
you
Jim
good
evening,
everyone.
So
the
purpose
of
this
slide
was
to
try
to
graphically
represent
the
efforts
of
the
district
to
try
to
start
as
far
away
from
the
student
experience
as
we
can
and
try
to
be
as
efficient
as
we
can
in
this
outer
ring.
So
in
this
graph,
you'll
see
three
rings
in
the
center
of
the
ring.
You
will
see
our
basic
instruction
for
what
is
required
for
a
student
to
graduate
so
you'll
see
general
education
and
Special
Education
Direct
instruction.
D
D
Second
ring
the
blue
represents
all
those
special
programs
that
are
very
special
to
make
schools
unique
for
children,
but
one
thing
about
them
is:
most
of
them:
do
not
represent
every
single
child.
So
not
every
student
in
the
district
is
in
sports
or
activities.
Not
everyone
is
in
the
gifted
ignite
program,
not
everyone's
in
abandoned
Orchestra
in
the
sixth
grade
and
so
on.
So
this
is
not
an
exhaustive
list.
D
It's
just
meant
to
show
examples
of
things
that
we
consider
to
be
Central
to
the
student
experience,
but
not
the
absolute
minimum,
critical
part
of
the
core
classroom
instruction
for
graduation.
The
outer
ring
represents
nine
percent
of
the
district's
budget
and
it's
a
lot
of
the
overhead
a
lot
of
the
administrative
activities,
a
lot
of
the
operational
expenses
and
things
that
are
they're
not
directly
affect
students,
but
are
in
that
outer
ring,
that's
required
to
run
the
district.
D
So
you
can
see
if
you
look
at
the
total
list
on
the
right
hand,
side
you,
you
will
see
that
in
in
the
things
that
have
been
scraped
together
so
far
we're
up
to
60
18
million
dollars
in
those
reductions,
155
positions
of
various
types,
the
remaining
deficit,
as
you
can
see,
as
of
November
15th,
is
still
in
that
50
million
dollar
range
right
now.
So
the
purpose
of
the
slide
again
was
not
to
be
exhaustive
or
represent
everything.
D
It's
just
to
try
to
show
you
that
we
start
the
reductions
in
the
outer
ring
and
we
go
as
lean
as
we
can
and
we
go
to
the
next
ring
and
we
go
lean
and
you'll
see
some
things
like
software
and
school
closures,
kind
of
reach
across
both
of
those
Rings
because
they
affect
students
as
well,
even
though
it
doesn't
affect
their
core
classroom
as
far
as
getting
their
reading
and
their
math
and
happens
so
anyway.
D
B
You
thank
you
Dr
Stock.
Meanwhile,
while
all
of
this
is
happening
in
addition
to
a
68
million
dollar
structural
shortfall,
the
district
is
being
faced
with
declining
birth
rates
and
declining
enrollment,
as
are
many
other
districts
throughout
the
West.
We
have
approximately
18
schools
that
are
operating
at
less
than
65
percent
of
their
capacity,
so
a
lot
of
our
service
providers
are
spread
thin.
That
would
include
the
special
education
teachers
speech,
therapists,
occupational
therapists,
people
who
provide
very
specialized
services
to
children
and
generally
work
in
more
than
one
building.
B
So
a
lot
of
what
we
are
faced
with
is
being
spread
geographically,
really
thin
and
that's
beginning
to
impact
our
level
of
service
service
to
students
and
families,
because
our
our
providers
of
those
Services
have
to
travel
greater
distances
and
there's
working
in
smaller
settings
Amen.
In
order
to
maintain
a
consistent
pay
slope,
they
wind
up
with
more
and
more
locations
where
they
have
to
actually
go
to
work.
We
find
that
to
be
a
challenging
situation
for
those
professionals
and
it
impacts
the
level
of
service
that
we
deliver.
B
So
our
strategy
is
to
try
to
reduce
our
costs
with
the
least
impact
possible.
We
want
to
maintain
level
of
service.
We
have
involved
stakeholders
to
the
extent
possible
through
the
six
in-person
town
halls
and
these
free
virtuals
that
we
are
having
this
week.
As
far
as
how
were
candidates
identified,
who
would
be
considered
for
consolidation?
We
are
looking
at
small
adjacent
programs,
meaning
two
schools
that
are
next
to
each
other.
B
That
may
have
fewer
than
300
students
and
in
some
cases
we
would
try
to
combine
those
into
one
program,
one
school
that
would
serve
a
larger
area
and
have
a
larger
student
body
with
more
adults
in
those
buildings.
That
strategy
is
very
consistent,
all
over
the
west,
where
school
districts
have
considered
consolidating
schools
or
looking
at
pairs
so
everywhere,
where
we
have
a
viable
pair
of
schools
inside
a
box
of
major
arterial
streets.
B
That
was
our
starting
point
as
far
as
considering
candidates,
we're
also
in
con
considering
moving
our
sixth
grade
students
into
our
middle
schools
and
standardizing
our
Elementary
programs,
so
that
they're
K-5
and
then
you
see
some
of
the
other
solutions
that
Dr
Stock
alluded
to.
B
This
next
slide
shows
something
that
I
haven't
seen
in
my
40-year
career,
meaning
drastic
declines
in
birth
rates.
This
is
indicating
that
over
the
last
five
years,
we
have
lost
approximately
750
babies
per
year,
meaning
750
fewer
babies
coming
into
the
preschool
age
range
of
zero
through
four.
So
this
has
a
very
significant
impact
and
will
have
an
impact
as
we
go
forward
into
the
coming
years,
because
these
children
have
not
hit
our
system
yet,
and
the
next
slide
shows
what
we're
faced
with
now.
B
As
far
as
the
last
eight
years
of
our
k-7
grades-
and
this
next
slide
shows
the
difference
between
2017
with
the
blue
bars
in
2022,
and
you
can
see
the
not
almost
every
grade
K
through
seven.
We
are
three
to
five
hundred
fewer
students
now
than
we
had
only
five
years
ago,
and
all
of
that
adds
up
to
a
district
that
has
five
thousand
fewer
children
than
it
did
not
very
long
ago,
but
we
still
have
approximately
the
same
number
of
buildings
and
the
same
geography
to
cover
with
our
Specialized
Service
Providers.
B
B
The
next
slide
shows
what
we
are
proposing
as
to
a
school
combination
or
School
closure
proposal.
This
was
presented
to
the
board
by
the
administration.
You
see
six
schools
there
that
have
predominantly
lower
utilization
rates
or
are
being
bolstered
by
multiple
neighborhoods
Abbott,
Loop,
Birchwood,
clat,
nunaka,
Valley,
Northwood
and
wonder
Park
are
the
schools
that
we
are
proposing
to
consolidate?
Abbott
would
go
into
cassoon
and
Trailside,
with
88th
East
88th
as
a
divider
Birchwood
would
go
into
Homestead
Platte.
B
The
area
north
of
Minnesota,
the
diamond
Estates
subdivision,
would
be
redistricted
into
Campbell
and
then
Ocean
View
would
absorb
the
students
south
of
Minnesota
Chester
Valley
would
take
nanaka's
children,
east
of
Boniface
and
the
nanaka
valley.
Children,
west
of
Boniface
would
attend.
Russian
Jack
Northwood
would
attend
Lake
hood
and
then
Wonder
Park
would
be
divided
between
willawa
and
Ptarmigan.
We
have
four
significant
proposals
there
to
retain
those
buildings
so
that
the
district
retains
control
of
them.
We
know
that
Alaska
is
a
boom
and
bust
economy.
B
We
believe
that
eventually
there
will
be
a
mid-air
mineral
energy
or
military
boom
again
in
this
community
in
this
state,
and
that
may
return
some
of
our
enrollment
members
to
their
historic
levels,
and
so
we
want
to
retain
these
buildings.
So
accordingly,
we
are
providing
or
proposing
a
mixture
of
providing
them
to
charter
schools
that
have
currently
have
challenging
housing
situations
and
creating
Early
Childhood
centers,
which
are
a
national
Trend,
and
that
would
be
an
extension
of
what
we're
already
doing
with
regionalized
preschool
locations
and
some
of
our
lower
utilizations
schools.
B
I
think
the
next
slide
is
a
splash
for
the
survey
again
we'd
like
to
invite
everyone
to
take
the
survey,
and
we
have
I
believe
five
people
who
are
signed
up
to
speak
and
I
would
like
to
mention
that
we
have
a
three-minute
time
frame.
Mr
Finn
will
call
30
seconds
and
then
time
toward
the
end
of
that,
and
our
first
speaker
is
Joel
Potter
Joel.
The
next
three
minutes
are
yours:.
E
E
I
should
note
that
adjusting
the
BSA
for
inflation
is
also
needed
by
the
more
than
80
000
students
in
other
school
districts.
Could
you
identify
the
elected
politicians
who
have
expressed
this
view
to
you?
If
you
are
unwilling
to
share?
Please
explain
why
you
think
it
is
appropriate
to
keep
this
information
secret
to
be
clear.
I
am
not
interested
in
knowing
about
who
voted
in
2018
to
pass
to
hold
harmless
provision
with
which
makes
it
more
financially
feasible
in
the
short
run
for
districts
to
close
schools.
There's
nothing
controversial
about
that
bill.
E
Politicians
who
wish
to
use
their
appropriating
powers
to
interfere
with
the
governance
of
specific
school
districts
need
to
come
clean
to
the
public.
Just
as
there
are
politicians
who
do
not
appreciate
the
value
of
anchorage's
neighborhood
school
system,
I'm
sure
there
are
some
who
are
convinced
that
philosophy
which
I
teach
is
a
waste
of
resources.
Let's
imagine
that
there
is
a
Cadre
of
such
politicians
and
they
explain
to
the
UA
president
that
if
she
wants
to
see
the
passage
of
the
University
budget
next
year,
she
will
have
to
cut
philosophy
out
of
the
curriculum.
E
Maybe
that
sort
of
thing
happens,
but
when
it
says
it's
the
job
of
leadership
to
maintain
their
institutions
autonomy,
the
district
is
directly
accountable
to
the
people
of
Anchorage
through
the
elected
school
board.
If
the
people
think
that
the
school
district
needs
to
realize
efficiencies
by
closing
schools,
they
can
advocate
for
that
directly
to
the
district,
and
they
can
elect
board
members
who
support
that
approach.
Politicians
will
inevitably
attempt
to
wield
their
influence
and
shape
the
institutions
funded
by
the
state.
E
It
is
accuracy,
especially
that
is
the
is
most
antithetical
to
the
proper
functioning
of
our
Democratic
institution.
It
leaves
key
players
who
are
now
shaping
the
institution's
decisions
out
of
the
process
of
public
deliberation
and
accountability.
The
upshot
is
that,
no
matter
what
arguments
the
public
make
to
the
Border
District
about
its
plan,
the
outcome
is
predetermined
when
the
individuals
with
funding
Authority
have
secretly
set
the
real
conditions
for
success.
I
hope
you
can
see
how
corrosive
that
sort
of
arrangement
is
to
good
governance.
E
E
Are
I
am
sure
many
other
residents
of
Anchorage
would
like
to
have
the
chance
to
speak
with
them.
So
again,
my
question
is:
who
are
those
currency
or
recently
elected
politicians
in
office
who
are
who
have
indicated
unwillingness
to
pass
a
BSA
increase
unless
the
Anchorage
School
District
closes
almost
at
school?.
B
Thank
you,
Joel
I'm,
not
sure
how
appropriate
it
is
for
us
to
respond
to
this
I'm
going
to
ask
Jim
Anderson
to
comment.
Given
the
fact
the
question
was
directed
to
Jim
I
I
think.
That's,
probably
all
I
can
do
at
this
point
Jim.
What
what
would
you
offer
in
response
of.
C
Course,
first
Joel
you've
you've
put
so
much
effort
into
understanding
the
the
funding
formula
honestly
of
all
of
the
public
that
I've
worked
with
in
six
years.
You
probably
understand
it
more
than
anyone,
because
you
used
that
five
year
old
Timeless
to
to
to
look
at
this
purely
from
a
revenue
perspective.
C
I,
don't
take
notes
when
I
talk
to
legislators,
because
they're
all
private
conversations
and
they're,
not
they're,
not
public
meetings,
but
all
you
have
to
do
is
go
to
AK,
ledge
and-
and
you
can
listen
to
all
of
the
different
discussions
in
committee
meetings.
I
I
couldn't
without
knowing
this
question
was
coming.
C
I
I
couldn't
have
thought
to
go
through
all
of
the
public
committee
meetings
where
it
was
publicly
brought
up
and
and
when
people
bring
this
up,
it's
not
about
closing
a
school,
it's
not
that
they
hate
a
community
or
they
they
dislike
buildings
or
anything
else.
What
what
the
legislators
in
Juneau
have
dealt
with
over
the
years
when
oil
dropped
and
plummeted,
knowing
that
it's
the
single,
almost
single
Revenue,
generating
mineral
products
in
the
state
to
be
able
to
fund
all
of
this
great
activities
when
it
dropped?
C
The
legislature
had
to
start
making
very
conscious
decisions
as
to
where
they
would
prioritize
their
funding
and
when
they
saw
that
Anchorage
specifically,
although
many
other
districts
have
seen
the
same
thing,
we're
losing
many
many
children,
their
focus,
isn't
about
the
building,
but
on
creating
efficiencies
before
they
provide
more
money.
Because,
as
you're
probably
aware,
most
legislators
have
a
very
long
history
in
the
business
Community,
where
they
look
at
efficiencies
gained
instead
of
retaining
excess
infrastructure,
so
it
their
their
discussions
are
never
about
a
building.
C
When
you
look
at
the
bill
that
Natasha
Von
emhoff
Senator
Don
imhoff
passed
several
years
ago,
it
was
in
recognition
of
the
fact
that
the
state's
Foundation
formula
provides
more
money
for
smaller
schools
than
bigger
schools.
So,
for
several
years
when
legislators
would
say
you
have
now
lost,
you
know,
fifteen
hundred
two
thousand
three
thousand
students.
When
are
you
going
to
right-size
your
infrastructure,
because,
as
a
business
person,
that's
what
I
would
do?
C
You
know
to
business
people,
efficiency
matters
and
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
before
they
give
us
more
money
that
they
don't
know
where
it's
going,
that
one
of
the
things
we
did
was
create
a
more
efficient
operation,
I
could
probably
hand
off
to
Mark
stock,
although
we
did
not
practice
this
to
talk
about
the
other
areas
that
they
wanted
us
to
show
growth
in
Beyond,
just
school
closures
and-
and
the
last
thing
before
I
asked
Mark
to
talk
about
on
the
education
side.
C
All
of
those
discussions
about
you
know,
student
outcomes
and,
and
those
other
things
that
they
wanted
to
tie
to
setting
bars
before
they
increase
funding
is
our
local
survey
within
Anchorage
we've
had
thousands
of
people
take
ASD
surveys
since
September
by
far
the
number
one
single,
most
acceptable
or
very
acceptable
option
of
all
those
things
from
Sports
to
programs
to
extracurriculars
is
to
consolidate
schools
and
by
far
having
gone
through
now
this
would
be
the
eight
town
hall.
C
C
We
also
know
that
even
in
neighborhood
schools,
that
I
mean
picking
Inland
view
50
of
Inlet
View
is
neighborhood
students,
50
of
Inlet
View
area
goes
outside
the
area
to
other
schools
and
50
of
Inlet.
View
is
students
from
outside
that
neighborhood.
C
It
doesn't
discount
the
importance
of
any
school,
your
school,
your
kids
school,
any
other
school,
but
there
there
is
a
desire
among
a
lot
of
conservative
people
to
create
efficiencies
before
you
throw
more
money
at
at
systems
that
might
not
be
efficient
and
Mark.
Can
you
talk
about
the
other
things
that
legislators
have
brought
up
about
student
outcomes?
Please
sure.
D
Thank
you,
Jim
Joel,
one
thing
I,
just
being
a
professor
I
think
you
can
appreciate
this
particular
piece
of
wisdom.
One
of
my
early
professors
in
my
doctorate
program
told
me
that
if
you,
the
definition
of
politics
is
competition
for
scarce
resources,
and
what
we
are
in
right
now
is
is:
is
this
scarcity
of
resource
and
what's
happening
is,
as
people
begin
to
I
think
one
board
member
called
it
balkanize
almost
like
divide
up
and
turn
against
each
other
and
fight
over
these
things.
D
The
competition
for
the
scarce
resources
is
immense
right
now
and
we're
seeing
it
here
in
the
district,
with
every
program
with
every
single
program
that
has
been
discussed
is
some
way
of
trying
to
make
it
more
efficient
or
reduce
it.
We've
had
the
same,
the
same
difficulties.
What
Jim's
asked
me
to
respond
to
I
think
Joel.
D
You've
already
heard
it
so
I'll
keep
it
short,
but
you
know
when
a
no
school
and
I've
I've
been
a
superintendent
in
a
district
that
built
the
new
school
every
two
years,
because
it
continued
to
grow
and
grow
and
grow,
and
we
never
would
ever
build
a
school
that
was
less
than
400
students
in
size
for
an
elementary.
So
you
know
I,
and
the
reason
that
is
is
because
when
people
use
the
term
right
size,
they're,
not
implying
that
other
sizes
are
wrong
or
that
there's
something
bad
about
it.
D
But
there
is
for
efficiency
purposes
and
Effectiveness.
There
is
an
effective
or
effective
size
of
a
school,
and
that's
usually
three
or
four
grade
levels:
classrooms
per
grade
level
in
an
elementary
and
that's
because
we
don't
have
to
have
poor
teachers
split
between
trying
to
teach
two
grade
levels
simultaneously.
They
have
a
difficult
time
with
that
and
there's
also
not
enough
teachers
in
the
school
to
be
able
to
accelerate
or
remediate
and
to
divide
students
up
and
to
put
them
into
groups
more
appropriate
for
perhaps
their
their
learning
abilities.
D
I
did
a
show
of
hands
in
this
classroom
where
I
was
this
morning,
a
staff
meeting
and
at
least
one
third
of
all,
the
teachers
in
that
school
were
new
to
the
school,
and
when
you
have
a
small
school,
you
have
less
mentors
and
people
available.
So
when
politicians
and
people
ask
us
if
we're
using
our
resources
to
the
most
effective
level,
there's
we
we
have
to
say
no,
we
have
to
say
no,
we
we
want
to
make
them
more
efficient
and
more
effective,
and
this
is
one
of
the
strategies
now.
D
It's
a
combination
of
all
these
little
things
and
the
most
effective
use
of
one-time
funding
until
the
state's
willing
to
come
up
with
a
longer
term
solution.
This
this
deal
right
now
that
we're
in
is
a
structural
deficit
problem
that
we'll
be
right
back
here
at
this
table
next
year.
Having
the
same
conversation,
only
it'll
be
worse,
if
we
don't
get
some
Headway
on
it,
so
Jim
I
don't
know.
D
C
Mark
I
I
appreciate
it
and
and
Joel
I
I
had
the
greatest
respect
for
all
of
the
questions
you've
brought
up
and
the
emails
you've
sent
to
them
before
because
you,
you
have
certainly
done
more
than
any
person
I
know
on
research.
C
What
what
I
will
say
is
it
isn't
a
Republican
or
a
Democrat
thing
in
the
state
of
Alaska?
It's
not
a
independent
or
anything
else.
It
really
is
scarcity
of
resources
and
I.
Think
you're
probably
well
aware
that
that
the
state
for
years
had
a
lot
of
oil
money.
C
It
isn't
that
I
think
anyone
was
evil
or
ill
intended.
They,
they
really
struggle
with
the
three
main
priorities
in
the
state.
C
The
very
largest
is
the
Permanent
Fund
dividend,
followed
by
Department
of
Health
and
Social
Services,
followed
by
education,
and
then,
if
you
add
everything
else
up
from
Highway
Patrol
to
Ferry
systems
to
at
to
the
government,
none
of
them
add
up
to
even
a
portion
of
Education,
which
is
the
third
most
expensive
thing,
and
and
so,
when
they
talk
about
efficiencies,
they're
they're
really
just
asking
us
to
maximize
the
use
of
available
dollars
and
and
when
those,
when
they're
they're
more
comfortable
that
we're
really
taking
steps
to
move
in
that
direction,
then
they're
they're
more
accepting
that
the
district's
now
ready
to
maximize
the
use
of
additional
funding
instead
of
using
it
to
plug
holes
in
gaps
for
all
of
the
inefficient
systems
that
may
exist
so
I
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
C
I
I,
think
all
of
us
on
this
panel
who
who
have
have
seen
the
effort
you
put
into
this,
certainly
respect
you,
your
opinion
and
all
the
effort
you've
put
in.
B
Thank
you,
Jim.
Thank
you,
Dr
Stock.
Our
next
comment
and
question
will
come
from
Kelsey
schroeger
who
we
will
try
to
get
on
the
phone.
I'll
say
the
next
three
minutes
are
yours.
G
G
To
Anthony
Knox
Valley,
Elementary,
School
and
I
urge
all
elected
officials
responsible
for
making
decisions
around
ASP
school
closures
to
be
the
same.
I
was
born
and
raised
in
the
last
two
I
look
at
Anchorage
in
2017
and
I
bought
my
first
house
right
near
Napa
Valley
earlier
this
year.
I
bought
a
home
here
because
it
was
affordable
for
a
younger
person
like
me,
so
that's
a
beautiful
neighborhood
and
because
it
has
a
high
quality,
Elementary
School
within
walking
distance.
G
A
G
E
G
G
Being
considered
to
save
a
meter
amount
of
money,
while
the
school
board
is
also
moving
forward
with
the
building
Elementary
School,
with
a
37
million
dollar
price
tag
and,
like
you
just
noted
for
just
50
of
students
in
the
neighborhood
actually
attending
that
school.
And
lastly,
it's
not
right
that
elected
legislators
are
Resorts
undercluding,
almost
exclusively
low
income
serving
elementary
schools
instead
of
working
with
their
colleagues
to
help
them
understand.
Why
closing
schools
is
not
the
efficiency
that
they
think
it
will
be,
and
they
should
stand
in
the
way
of
supporting
them.
G
The
proposal
to
close
the
Knockouts
Valley
Elementary
School,
isn't
an
efficiency.
Quite
frankly,
it's
an
insult
I'm,
an
Alaskan
who
attended
a
title,
one
Elementary
School
and
a
title.
One
Middle
School
I
graduated
in
the
top
10
of
my
high
school
class
and
I
went
on
to
receive
a
bachelor's
degree
in
a
master's
degree
I'm.
G
The
type
of
person
who
will
be
closing
if
you
closing
off
about
The
Proposal
disclosure,
makes
me
believe
our
district
is
not
interested
or
invested
in
building
a
future
for
our
kids,
where
everyone
has
accessible
opportunities
like
those
that
were
offered
to
me.
One
last
thing
to
add
here:
you
noted
that
overwhelmingly
from
surveys,
Anchorage
residentials
were
most
interested
in
closing
school.
Another
solution
of
the
budget
issue
and
overwhelmingly
people
who
are
the
most
opposed
to
possible
school
closures,
you've
announced,
are
the
people
who
live
in
the
impact.
G
Neighborhoods
I'd,
like
you
to
ask
yourself
if
you
were
proposing
to
close
the
school
in
the
turning
an
area,
and
you
were
overwhelming
with
testimony
from
residents
who
are
opposed,
would
you
listen
to
them
medical
connections
and
power?
What
about
a
school
on
the
hillside,
where
residents
are
often
a
large
political.
A
G
And
subtracting
to
pull
those
donations
and
then
ask
yourself
money
of
angry
political
voices
that
came
from
Monaco
Valley.
Would
you
be
reconsidering
I'll
close
by
saying
I'm
a
consistent
voter
and
if
you
knock
about
nunaka,
Valley,
Elementary
School
and
the
other
five
schools
for
Coach
foreclosure
are
closed
because
the
Anchorage
pulled
forward
in
the
Alaska
legislators
make
the
political
decision
to
close
the
school
because
they
cannot
find
less
time.
Please
disruptive,
less
politically
motivated.
G
F
F
It
could
be
applied
to
the
current
deficit
or
well.
We
could
spend
it
all
on
an
expensive
plan
to
rebuild
Inlet
these
schools
now
I
have
two
questions
about
that.
One
is
this
ASB,
considering
a
phased
renovation,
renovation
of
the
existing
school
and
on
the
existing
site
could
be
spread
out
over
some
years.
Could
save
some
money?
F
B
Thank
you,
Martin
I'll
ask
Jim
Anderson
to
address
the
idea
of
a
phased
renovation.
Also
I
think
Rob
Holland
might
be
able
to
address
that.
In
my
experience,
projects
of
that
size,
given
the
new
cost
environment
for
institutional
construction
generally
forces
them
to
be
a
single
project
from
a
inflation
and
cost
management
standpoint
regarding
how
the
legislators
would
respond
to
the
the
bond
funding
usage.
I
guess:
I'll
also
defer
to
Jim
to
answer
that
question.
Jim.
C
We
have
not
spoken
to
any
legislators
to
find
out
what
they,
how
they
feel
about
a
phased
renovation
or
how
they
feel
about
the
past
Bond
failure
of
which
we've
now
had
two
Bond
failures.
Since
State
Bond
debt
reimbursement
got
eliminated
or
put
on
a
moratorium
by
the
legislature
in
January
of
2015.,
but
I
will
hand
up.
Rachel
Rob
for
the
discussion
on
renovation
versus
rebuild
cert.
I
Thank
you,
Jim
Martin,
to
your
question.
Back
in
2017,
there
was
a
discussion
when,
in
the
view,
the
plans
for
Inlet
View
were
in
the
formative
phase
and
the
discussion
is
centered
around
a
a
potential
renovation
versus
rebuilding
the
school
and
those
options
were
presented
to
the
school
board
at
the
time.
I'll
point
out,
for
the
sake
of
accuracy,
of
course,
that's
not
the
same
school
board.
We
have
right
now.
I
You
understand
that
that
the
mix
of
the
school
board
changes
over
time,
but
but
that's
how
it
came
to
be,
and
there
was
original
guidance
around
the
fact
that
if
Inlet
View
were
renovated
again,
this
is
back
in
2017
that
that
would
likely
involve
a
new
MPR
or
an
or
gym
the
reconfiguration
of
a
class
room
or
two,
but
no
new
classrooms,
a
secure
vestibule
and
a
new
heating
system
Etc
and
back
then
it
was
estimated
that
those
costs
would
be
north
of
21
million
dollars
again,
that
was
five
years
ago,
and
when
those
type
of
options
were
presented
at
Inception,
it
was
decided
that
it
was
more
efficient
in
the
long
run,
given
the
cost
of
such
a
remodel
and
that
it
would
not
add
a
net
amount
of
new
classrooms.
I
The
school
would
still
have
the
same
basic
bones
as
well:
okay,
the
same
basic
envelope,
so
it
was
discussed
that
it
was
a
better
alternative,
as
is
often
the
case
in
discussions
like
this,
to
go
with
a
a
scrape
and
rebuild
and
so
the
rest
of
the
process.
You're
quite
familiar
with
that,
it
evolved
from
a
bond
funding
for
the
3.3
million
dollars
that
was
invested
in
the
design
a
couple
years
of
design
work.
Ultimately
that
completed
with
approval
by
the
Urban
Design
commission.
I
Earlier
this
fall,
so
there's
only
one
set
of
plans
that
exist
right
now.
The
district
has
about
3.3
million
invested
in
that
shovel,
ready
design,
and
at
this
point
it
would
be
up
to
further
board
guidance
if
anything
were
to
be
considered
different
from
from
the
path
we're
on
right
now.
I
hope
that
answered
the
question
for
you.
Martin.
B
Thank
you
rob
we'll
move
on
to
our
next
speaker,
who
is
Mark
ham
they're
with
us.
While
we
get
Markham
online.
H
Hi,
this
is
Mark
ham.
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
Mark
welcome
yeah.
Thank
you
for
taking
my
call.
I
am
a
father
of
four
boys.
I
have
three
of
them
attending
Birchwood
ABC
and
one
son
attending
Mirror,
Lake,
Middle,
School
and
I'd
like
to
give
some
context
and
and
flavor
there
about
the
closure
and
discussions
around
Birchwood,
ABC
and,
and
one
thing
that
I'd
like
to
highlight
too,
is
that
you
know
on
the
asd's
core
values.
H
One
of
them
is
transparency
and
also
fairness,
and
you
know
I
find
it
very
disturbing
and
frustrating
that
you
know
this
school.
That's
considering
to
be
Consolidated
with
Birchwood
ABC
is
over.
You
know.
If
you
go
from
where
some
of
our
students
live
in
the
Chugiak
area,
it's
eight
miles
away.
There's
no
way
you
can
considerate
neighborhood
school
to
be
eight
miles
away,
blessing
kindergartners
in
the
dark
that
far
you
know
from
from
points
where
the
Birchwood
ABC
students
live.
There's
three
other
schools
closer.
You
have
Chugiak
Elementary,
that's
two
miles
away.
H
H
That's
about
five
and
a
half
miles
away,
and
so
I'm
I
really
fear
that,
in
the
idea
of
of
making
a
simple
solution
that
you
guys
can
check
a
box
that
you're
thinking,
oh
we'll
just
swap
to
school
I
think
you
need
to
think
more
critically
about
looking
at
other
areas
and
moving
students
and
boundaries,
so
that
this
is
fair,
I
think
there's
a
great
sense
of
unfairness
in
our
in
our
neighborhood
right
now,
most
of
the
students
have
been
on
cohort
3
for
buses,
and
we've
had
buses
service
for
three
weeks
out
of
14
weeks
at
you
know
extreme.
H
You
know
problems
and
challenges
for
families
having
students
at
Mirror
Lake
and
at
Birchwood
is
almost
two
hours
a
day.
My
wife
and
I
have
not
been
able
to
work.
We've
had
to
take
our
kids,
and
so
in
the
idea
of
transparency
and
fairness.
You
really
should
be
looking
at
instead
of
some
simple
solution
of
we'll
bust.
These
kids
eight
miles
away.
Look
at
these
schools
that
are
closer
make
make
adjustments
that
that's
how
you're
talking
about
business
efficiencies
and
things
like
that.
You
know
that's
what
people
in
the
business
world
would
do.
H
They
wouldn't
take
some
simple
pollution.
The
other
thing,
I,
really
hope
that's
being
considered
and
I
hadn't
heard
it
discussed
before.
Is
it
deals
with
the
cloutna
Incorporated
so
inside
the
Birchwood
ABC
boundary
the
gluten
and
a
Native
Corporation
owned
a
huge
parcel
of
land
just
for
reports
of
powder
rich
in
the
school
district,
there
was
like
15,
acre
partial
there
and
plans
to
build
1
560
homes
there
within
the
next
five
to
ten
years,
so
I'm
concerned
about
closing
Birchwood
and
is
the
district
really
planning
for
all
this
big
growth?
H
B
Thank
you
so
much
Mark
I'll
attempt
to
address
some
of
what
you've
mentioned
regarding
the
identification
of
Homestead
I
think
we
were
looking
for
a
location
where
we
could
put
Birchwood
in
one
spot
in
its
entirety.
B
I'm
I've
only
got
one
computer,
so
I
I
in
front
of
me
and
on
so
I
can't
quickly.
Look
at
the
stats
to
see
if
the
students
could
be
kept
together
at
those
other
locations,
but
I
think
our
overriding
ideal
was
to
try
to
keep
Birchwood
intact
in
an
alternative
location
and
in
the
case
of
Homestead
we
would
be
able
to
put
everybody
in
in
that
building
together
with
the
homestead
program
and
they
would
fit
within
that
building.
B
Regarding
the
glutenal
lands
development
proposal
that
has
certainly
been
on
our
radar
for
quite
some
time.
As
you
mentioned,
I
think
we
do
have
a
School
site
there.
New
home
construction
is
at
an
all-time
low
in
the
Anchorage
municipality
and
in
the
greater
Anchorage
Bowl
area.
Right
now,
when
I
was
recontracted
by
the
district
in
late
August,
early
September
I
did
a
poll
and
found
55
newly
constructed
homes
on
the
market
and
there's
a
real
low
in
building
permits
and
new
home
mortgage
activity
a
nationwide
due
to
the
seven
percent
interest
rate.
B
That
became
a
reality
about
the
third
week
of
October
and
that's
really
resulted
in
a
35
to
60
percent
reduction
in
new
home
sales
and
in
new
home
activity
and
I.
Think
Freddie
Mac
is
actually
proposing
a
50
reduction
in
mortgage
activity
through
the
end
of
calendar
23.
So
most
analysts
are
expecting
the
current
interest
rate
circumstances
to
affect
the
housing
market
through
the
for
the
at
least
the
next
18
months.
B
So
I
I
think
we
do
want
to
look
way
down
the
road
at
what
akutna
land
and
other
development
in
the
area
would
would
produce.
But
we
are
thinking
that
a
slow,
steady
growth
expectation
in
the
greater
Eagle
River
Chugiak
area
is
appropriate,
given
the
circumstances
and
it
wouldn't
really
affect
the
more
immediate
need
for
the
district
to
try
to
improve
its
program
coverage
by
serving
fewer
larger
buildings.
So
that's
kind
of
been
at
the
root
of
what
we've
looked
at.
D
Yes,
this
is
I'm.
Sorry
Jim
go
ahead,
go
ahead.
Oh
this
is
Mark.
I
was
just
going
to
confirm
Shannon's
assumptions
about
reasons
for
why
the
other
elementary
schools
were
looked
at.
Yes,
there
are
some
that
are
closer.
There
was
some
serious
consideration
given
to
the
effects
it
would
have
on
the
Birchwood
ABC
program
and
that
by
splitting
up
those
students
and
dividing
them
up,
we
do
have
some
concerns
with
program
space
in
those
other
schools.
Olmstead
was
a
place
that
it
would
fit
and
the
program
could
stay
pretty
much
intact.
D
So
that
was
our
primary
primary
reasoning.
C
You
know
Mark
great
questions
I'd
just
like
to
add
on
the
Powder
Ridge
we've
been
tracking
the
the
zoning
of
Powder
Ridge
since
2017
I
believe
with
an
expectation
by
The,
Meeting,
Planners
and
developers
that
that
area
would
grow
out
and
what
we've
seen
is
since
2017,
the
Anchorage
population
has
reduced
about
15
to
1800
per
year,
but
this
past
year,
Anchorage
Economic
Development
Corp
did
a
study
and
they
posted
it
in
Anchorage,
Daily
News
about
two
or
three
weeks
ago
that
this
year,
instead
of
15
to
1800
people
who
left
Anchorage,
it
was
8
000.
C
So
there
is
no
near-term
expectation
that
Anchorage
population
is
going
to
Boom
unless
oil,
the
LNG
pipeline
or
mineral
wells
near
Anchorage,
gets
approved
by
the
federal
government
and
and
they
start
creating
new
jobs
it.
The
zoning
is,
is
accurate.
We
just
don't
see
in
the
very
near
future
in
the
current
economy,
a
rapid
growth
that
would
require
1500
new
homes
to
be
built.
F
A
good
evening,
thank
you
for
taking
my
call.
My
name
is
Mike
brunst
I
am
the
parent
of
two
immersion
kiddos
one
in
fourth
grade
and
another
that
just
started
sixth
grade
at
baggage.
Middle
School
I
want
to
tell
you
that
I
agree
with
Joel
that
the
names
of
the
anti-education
legislators
need
to
be
released,
but
I
also
understand
that
the
legislature
Exempted
themselves
from
the
public
meeting
laws.
F
We
don't
attract
more
customers
by
cutting
and
destroying
education,
but
instead
by
funding
it
when
the
state
of
Texas
faced
masses
by
Massive
budget
crisis
in
the
80s
they
double
down
on
their
education
system,
particularly
their
universities,
creating
a
massive
draw
that
is
showing
the
positive
outcomes.
Today.
F
I
was
a
product
of
the
Anchorage
School
District
I
went
to
Ocean
View
handshoe
service
and
saved
I'm
familiar
with
the
junior
high
model,
and
when
my
sixth
grader
started,
Middle
School
at
bigot,
she's
actually
sitting
next
to
me
doing,
homework
I
was
thrown
away
by
the
positives
I
was
concerned.
It
was
a
young
kid.
F
F
B
A
good
day,
thank
you,
Mike.
Our
final
speaker
this
evening
is
Rebecca
Potter
Rebecca,
the
next
three
minutes
or
yours,.
G
Hi
I
wanted
to
comment
on
some
of
the
things
that
earlier
speakers
have
talked
about
for
taking
this
idea
of
efficiency
and
of
scarcity
I'm
a
mom
and
I
work
in
a
school
every
day,
I'm
with
little
kids,
all
the
time
and
I
would
like
for
the
school
district
to
really
be
thinking
not
what's
most
efficient
for
the
legislature,
not
what's
most
efficient
for
the
school
district
for
Specialists
for
teachers.
Those
are
the
people
I'm
hearing
talks
about,
but
for
the
students,
what
is
most
efficient
for
families?
G
What
is
most
efficient
and
to
have
to
go
farther
outside
of
your
neighborhood
to
go
to
school
is
not
efficient
for
little
kids
from
their
perspective,
I
think
you
may
have
heard
from
us
a
couple
of
times
already
about
traffic
challenges
and
transportation
challenges
for
the
students
who
would
be
moved
out
of
nanaka
valley,
so
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
up
again,
because
that
is
the
thing
that
immediately
left
to
mind
after
our
town
hall.
G
For
me,
because
I
walk
around
here
a
lot
and
it
seemed
like
the
planning
did
not
at
all
take
into
account
the
natural
geographic
boundaries
around
enocha
Valley,
the
woods,
the
hills,
a
lake,
a
Creek
Forest,
the
wildlife
challenges,
the
dark
of
Winter,
the
ice
and
snow
that
are
piled
over
the
sidewalks.
When
I
heard
someone
say
that
they
would
be
asking
kids
to
walk
on
Northern
Lights
Boulevard
I
was
appalled,
that's
not
a
place
where
little
kids
should
be
walking
and
the
distances
are
too
far
for
little
kids
to
be
walking.
G
So
I
hope
that
if
this
happens,
that
busing
is
provided
for
those
students.
But
it
is
too
much
to
ask
the
students
in
yunaka
Valley,
to
walk
to
Chester
Valley
and
to
walk
to
Russian
Jack
our
communities
and
Community
walks
and
noted
the
traffic
challenges
we'll
be
sending
you
some
of
that
information.
G
G
They
have
to
step
into
the
road
to
gain
the
right-of-way
or
they
have
to
to
go
all
the
way
up
to
the
bar
at
an
intersection
where
there's
been
a
pedestrian
fatality
in
recent
years
in
order
to
have
a
crosswalk
that
has
a
light
at
it.
So
our
community
is
really
concerned
about
this,
and
we
wonder
why
all
this
wasn't
part
of
the
calculation.
E
G
Store
recommendations
were
made
to
the
school
board,
about
which
schools
to
close
so
I,
just
I
would
like
the
legislature
we're
going
to
talk
to
them
too,
and
the
school
district
to
think
about
this
idea
of
scarcity.
Do
we
really
not
have
enough
resources?
Are
we
really
thinking
about
what's
efficient?
We
need
to
think
about
it.
From
the
kids
perspective,
the
cheapest
method
of
education
is
not
the
best.
That
is
not
the
most
efficient.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
Rebecca
I,
think
all
of
us
as
panelists
are
very
much
in
the
business
of
providing
what
is
normally
the
upside
for
us
of
building
new
schools.
As
Dr
Stock
mentioned.
That's
certainly
been
a
big
part
of
my
career,
trying
to
make
things
as
constructive
and
effective
as
possible
for
students
and
families,
but
once
districts
get
into
these
fiscal
challenged
environments,
we're
forced
to
wear
a
different
hat
and
start
looking
at
different
solutions,
and
it's
very
uncomfortable
for
us
as
well.
B
B
I
ruined
a
pair
of
shoes
trying
to
walk
west
I
agree
with
some
of
your
your
observations
about
Northern,
Lights
I,
think
the
distances
are
kind
of
on
the
Ragged
edge
of
our
transportation.
Radii.
So
I
think
that
I'd
like
to
ask
Rob
Holland
to
comment
a
little
bit
on
what
we
may
be
planning
from
a
transportation
standpoint
to
move
children
to
both
Russian
Jack
and
Chester.
Valley
I
know
that
we
have
not
finalized
our
transportation
planning.
I
Yeah,
thank
you.
Shannon
and
I
agree
with
your
comments.
Shannon
and
those
of
Rebecca
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
area.
I've
lived
within
a
few
blocks
of
that
area.
For
28
years
myself,
it's
not
lost
on
us
that
we
would
be
looking
at
a
busing
model
for
students
at
iniaka
Valley
and
to
Shannon's
point
a
moment
ago,
as
most
community
members
know
by
now
the
busing
shortage,
as
we
know
it
is
solved
and
we
will
return
to
full
service.
I
This
coming,
Monday
I've
been
take
having
taken
the
first
major
step
in
our
new
efficiency
as
we
move
into
our
new
software
platform.
Soon,
we've
been
able
to
trim
routes,
trim
the
need
for
so
many
drivers,
and
so
that
is
all
working
very
well
and
that
trajectory
will
continue
we're
not
we're
not
at
a
stopping
point
we're
going
to
continue
to
model
that
out
so
we'll
be
able
to
look
at
Route,
Alternatives
real
time
and
and
show
what
that
would
look
like
what
we'll
do
before
we
actually
do.
I
The
work
for
that
is
we'll
see
what
actually
happens
here
in
the
very
near
future.
Before
we
start
building
out
bus
routes
and
some
of
the
Staffing
models,
that
cetera
for
school
closures,
but
that
we
are
prepared
to
do
that
and
show
a
busing
model
that
would
relieve
those
concerns
from
unacca
Valley.
B
Thank
you,
Rob
and,
and
and
Rebecca
just
to
add
to
your
observations
about
Beaver
place.
We
know
it
does
carry
a
significant
volume.
I,
don't
know
whether
it's
a
collector
or
a
minor
arterial,
but
I
know
it's
in
the
same
category
as
Baxter,
Street
and
Piper,
which
are
the
intermediate
higher
volume
streets
that
are
interspersed
between
the
larger
volume,
major
arterial
streets
in
the
city.
So
we
would
be
working
with
the
municipality
to
address
what
our
pedestrian
strategy
would
be
in
that
area
for
children
that
could
walk
to
school
and
I'm
sure.
B
This
is
something
that's
very
much
on
our
list
as
far
as
exploring
safe
routes
to
school.

So
Rebecca
was
our
last
speaker
for
the
evening,
and
this
concludes
our
virtual
Town
Hall.
On
this
topic.
I
would
like
to
remind
everybody
again
to
take
advantage
of
the
opportunity
to
take
our
survey.
B
B
I
would
like
to
ask
if
any
of
the
panelists
would
like
to
make
any
concluding
remarks
and
if
that's
not
the
case,
I'll
turn
the
floor
back
over
to
MJ
them.
To
conclude
the
meeting
and
thank
everyone
for
their
particip
participation
would
any
of
the
panelists
like
to
make
any
final
comments.
D
A
All
right
thanks,
Shannon
thanks
panelists
and
thanks
everyone

joining
us,
we'll
see
you

same
time.
The
topic
tonight
was
the
six
schools
up
for
recommendation.
Tomorrow's
topic
will
be
focused
on

repurposing
and
relocation
plan
that
the
district
is
putting
forth
in
its
