OPINION: Why closing Anchorage schools won’t save money
The latest savings projected for closing my neighborhood school, Nunaka Valley, are $245,783. Because of, closing and consolidating this school will lose the district $640,000 in annual state and municipal revenue. So, once the funding at pre-consolidation levels runs out, this closure will contribute to a significant deficit.
Even the touted short-term savings from closing schools may not materialize over the next two years. ASD has yet to explain the math to the public or the board. Much depends on the reuse of the buildings rather than efficiencies found through consolidation itself. The other thing the district mentions is projected enrollment and population loss. But the evidence provided is insufficient and, in some cases, misleading. It’s quite possible that ASD is closing schools in parts of town where more young families are moving and having children, since no community-specific birth rate data were used and what is cited for Anchorage is a couple of years old.
