It was the fourth of six scheduled town halls to allow the public a chance to voice their opinions on the district’s proposal to close six Anchorage elementary schools that would help close a $68 million budget deficit.
Emotions were running high from those who gave testimony. Many were upset, and some were visibly crying as the meeting pushed on.District consultant Shannon Bingham and Chief Financial Officer Jim Anderson began the meeting as they have the previous several times — starting with a brief presentation on why ASD is dealing with a budget shortfall.
“Please, please reconsider your choice to close Klatt, to separate and divide our community,” a recently retired teacher at Klatt Elementary said. “My heart goes out to all of you who are dealing with this,” the teacher said. “I can only begin to imagine how sad and frustrated and angry you all must be.”
“How? How are you going to support the middle school, how are you going to support the teachers of 20, 30 years? How?” one parent said. “What about these kids that are getting bused everywhere, except their neighborhood schools?”
