Anchorage School District to hold public meetings on plan to close 2 more elementary schools

The Anchorage School District is seeking community feedback on a proposal to close two more elementary schools, Fire Lake in Eagle River and Lake Otis in Anchorage. If approved, charter schools would take over the buildings. The district is also considering opening more child care spots in school buildings. Meetings are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and Saturday afternoon. The school board will discuss and vote on the closures in November. Students would be reassigned to other schools, and special education programs would shift to ensure continuity of services. Parents and community members are encouraged to attend and share their thoughts. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered.
