The Juneau School District is facing a nearly $8 million budget deficit for the current school year. District leaders are considering closing or reorganizing schools and cutting staff to balance the budget.
The Juneau School District held a community input session on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024 at the Thunder Mountain High School library. Attendees wrote questions and stuck them on a board on the wall.
Some coaches and students at the input sessions worried about limiting the amount of space on high school sports teams. “There’s a reason people choose their own respective schools,” Hicks said. “I chose Thunder Mountain because I wanted to learn Russian.” In an interview, Superintendent Frank Hauser said savings would come from distributing students more evenly among classrooms according to the pupil-teacher ratio, which the district uses to allocate teachers among grade levels.
Rosemary Slotnik, a behavioral paraeducator at Sayéik: Gastineau Community School, told district leaders on Thursday that having siblings at the same school helps build relationships with families.
