Alaska Ignored Warning Signs of a Budget Crisis. Now It Doesn’t Have Funding to Fix Crumbling Schools.

Lawmakers only budgeted $40 million of the nearly $800 million that districts say is needed to fix and maintain schools to keep them safe and operating. Gov. Mike Dunleavy then vetoed more than two-thirds of that.

@ProPublica coming soon, "Alaska switches to school all summer with a long winter break as it becomes impossible to heat schools in winter"

@ProPublica You know what's going to happen, right? Lisa Murkowski is going to sell her senate vote for funding, and as usual, the rest of the country funds to 10000 people who live in Alaska.

Look at the faces of the kids in the photo. Schools with a high % of indigenous will be hit hardest.

@ProPublica A society that abandons its children is on the way down.
