The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District is facing a multi-million dollar budget shortfall. In an effort to balance the spending plan, the school board voted on Feb.1 in favor of closing Joy and Anderson Elementary Schools.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - At the Feb. 1 regular meeting, the Fairbanks North Star Borough School Board passed a motion that will bring changes to the district starting with the 2022-2023 school year.
The motion will also repurpose Nordale Elementary School. Nordale will be used to house alternative learning programs, including eLearning and Fairbanks BEST Homeschool.“My hands are pretty much tied. I’ve got a financial responsibility to this district, and when our piggy bank is zero, we have to do something. This is where we’re at,” said board member Matthew Sampson in regards to his affirmative vote.
“These are the times that we have to make really hard decisions. They’re not the decisions that we always want to make, but... they’re decisions that have to be made at this point in time,” Luke addressed to the community after the vote.
