阿拉斯加在公众的反对和对Anchorage损失1 500美元的关切中拖延学校筹资规则。
Alaska delays school funding rule amid public opposition and concerns over $15M loss in Anchorage.
阿拉斯加教育部敦促推迟一项有争议的规则,该规则将改变地方政府为学校提供的资金如何计算的问题,并提到在600多位公众反对这一转变的意见之后,需要进一步审查。
The Alaska Department of Education is urging a delay on a controversial rule that would change how local government funding for schools is counted, citing the need for further review after more than 600 public comments opposed the shift.
这项规则最初是作为一项紧急措施来推动的,以满足联邦的公平要求,它可能仅仅在Anchorage就将学校经费减少1 500万美元,从而威胁到交通和降雪等服务。
Originally pushed as an emergency measure to meet federal equity requirements, the rule could reduce school funding by up to $15 million in Anchorage alone, threatening services like transportation and snowplowing.
批评者认为,这样会伤害学生和社区,而不会解决该州更广泛的筹资挑战。
Critics argue it would harm students and communities without solving the state’s broader funding challenges.
国家教育委员会准备讨论这项建议,官员们现在建议暂停讨论,以确保明确性和公众投入。
The State Board of Education is set to discuss the proposal, with officials now recommending a pause to ensure clarity and public input.
