Our schools cannot function with hundreds of teacher vacancies and far too many overcrowded classrooms with 30, 35 and even 40 or more kids.
On Nov. 5, Alaskans must unite and elect public education heroes. Public education heroes are our elected leaders who will fulfill their constitutional responsibility to fund public education, even when that requires overriding Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s vetoes.
I am proud that my district legislators are public education heroes. Rep. Calvin Schrage has been a longtime champion of supporting students, families and education. Sen. James Kaufman also gave multiple positive votes in support of increasing the Base Student Allocation. Thank you! Sen. Cathy Giessel is not up for election, but is a tireless and true champion of education. Her proposal to restore a modest pension option for educators is a beam of hope in a bleak workplace for our educators and administrators. Her proposal also keeps students and families safe by restoring retirement security for Alaska State Troopers, firefighters, Village Public Safety Officers, plow truck drivers and more.
