Anchorage School District Faces $83M Budget Shortfall

The Anchorage School District is facing an $83 million budget shortfall for the upcoming school year, despite a recent state funding increase.

The district is hosting a budget workshop this Saturday and urging state lawmakers to find a long-term funding solution. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network.
