A district official said if all six elementary schools were shuttered, the total savings over five years would be $10.9 million.
at Monday night’s Anchorage School Board meeting, combing through the details and coming up with an updated total deficit of around $67 million.
“We’ll continue our discussion of budget solutions as the time to make decisions inches near,” district Superintendent Jharrett Bryantt said at the meeting. “Closing all six schools — if that were to occur — the total saving over five years is $10.9 million,” Anderson said. “And I hope that that provides a different visual picture of the impact on revenue.”Anderson also explained potential savings by each school, pointing out that some buildings would only prove cost-effective in the short term. Those answers prompted many questions from teachers and parents about what the long term impact of closing the schools would mean for the district.
“Klatt isn’t just any other school,” one student said. “It is friendly, supportive and an eventful school.”
