Anchorage School District Chief Operating Officer Jim Anderson said the district will release a plan in October that outlines which schools could close as part of the district’s effort toon Aug. 20, Anderson said the district is being cautious about closing schools, and trying to do what’s best for students.
Anchorage School District Chief Operating Officer Jim Anderson speaks during a school board work session on Aug. 20, 2024 Anderson told the board that some buildings may be closed as schools, but leased to charter schools or reopened as child care facilities. He said the district will hold several town hall meetings before making a recommendation to the school board for a final decision by the end of this year.
