## Resource

Alaska’s legislature is poised to triple school infrastructure funding to over $148 million, tackling decades of deferred maintenance in public schools across the state. Despite being the largest increase in a decade, the funding still barely scratches the surface of the massive repair needs — especially in remote districts like Sleetmute, where a leaking roof turned into a structural crisis with bat infestations. Lawmakers prioritize education infrastructure despite budget constraints, but tensions remain over how funds are allocated — with wealthier districts having an edge in grant access. While Governor Dunleavy still has veto power, optimism grows that this funding boost could be the first step toward a permanent solution starting in 2028.
