Gov. Mike Dunleavy has suggested he’ll veto the bill unless it includes more of his priorities.
Juneau School District Superintendent Frank Hauser talks during an Assembly committee of the whole meeting on Monday, Jan. 29, 2024.
Juneau schools face a $10 million budget deficit for next year. District officials say the school closure planthat includes a $680 increase to the base student allocation, part of a formula that determines state funding to schools. That would give the Juneau School District more than $5 million in additional state funding.
“We have 15 days before it becomes law or before I veto. And I made it clear that if there are not certain elements in that bill, I won’t sign it into law,” he said. “I’ll veto it.”in order to balance the budget. The district would also have to increase the pupil-teacher ratio, also known as PTR, essentially increasing class sizes.
