Been experimenting with texture. Looking forward to seeing how glazes interact with these textures. #pottery #ceramics

I used to write #akleg saying I didn’t support capital projects. What I meant was that I didn’t want to sink more state money into boondoggles that shouldn’t be built at all. But maintaining schools is a capital project I can wholeheartedly get behind. #educationfunding

Juneau School Board returns $1.05 million in child care funding to city The school board unanimously approved returning the funds following multiple delays since November as board members mulled over the future of after-school child care in the district.

The decision comes as YMCA Alaska is looking into the feasibility of running after-school child care programs in the district.

#AnchorageSchoolDistrict absolutely should be consolidating schools to use their resources efficiently. AND the #akleg should be adequately funding public education. #alaskasky

Go Seahawks!

Glad to see it settled, allowing everyone to focus on communicating to the public and legislators about the need for increased and sustainable funding- and the need to fix retirement for Tier 3 Teacher Retirement System members. #alaskasky #akleg #educationfunding #anchorageschooldistrict

Public testimony opportunities for Tuesday, February 3!

Attendance is such a tricky thing to address. It takes tact and care and curiosity and respect. When we talk about student achievement and school performance we often ignore the fact that almost half of our students (depending on the school) are chronically absent. #education #attendance #alaskasky

Hope Juneau is able to find a great superintendent ready to tackle educating the public and legislators about the need for increased funding.

If you aren’t in your local school regularly, I encourage you to start building a relationship with the staff there. Or even just go walk the grounds once a week in the evening or on the weekend. Notice the things that could use attention, and use that in your advocacy for increased funding.

Thank you to the students and health care workers who organized and showed up for this walkout on Friday. #anchorage #alaskasky

Hope folks will educate themselves about the candidates for #AnchorageAssembly and Anchorage School District School Board. These officials have significant power over day to day lives. And we have recently seen how local officials can be instrumental in pushing back against out of control feds.

So much fun getting to root for the Pili family! #alaskasky #pilipower

Yikes! That’s a lot. What a disaster.

“Members George Martinez, Erin Baldwin Day, Zac Johnson, Daniel Volland, Yarrow Silvers, Felix Rivera, Kameron Perez-Verdia, Chair Chris Constant and Vice Chair Anna Brawley voted for the proposal. Scott Myers, Keith McCormick and Goecker voted against.”

Thank you to the #anchorageassembly members who voted to add the educational tax levy to the April municipal ballot. If approved by voters, it could offset a $89 million deficit by about $11.8 million. #education #anchorageschooldistrict

Opinion: Legislators have 5 days to clock an easy win SB 113 modernizes Alaska’s tax code, supports schools and passed once already. There’s no reason to fail it again.

Great opinion piece from @rebeccabraun.bsky.social last week about #akleg and SB113 vetoed by Dunleavy last year. Close a loophole in corporate income tax for $65 million annually! #alaskasky #alaska
