阿拉斯加农村土著学校要求农村土著学校各区拥有日益恶化的校舍,以换取国家修缮资金,引起对成本和安全的担忧。
Alaska requires rural Indigenous school districts to take ownership of deteriorating school buildings in exchange for state repair funds, raising concerns over costs and safety.
阿拉斯加的农村学校区为以土著社区为主的社区提供服务,它们必须拥有正在恶化的校舍,以换取国家资金来修复或重建校舍。
Alaska’s rural school districts, serving predominantly Indigenous communities, are being required to take ownership of deteriorating school buildings in exchange for state funding to repair or rebuild them.
自2003年以来,国家已将54所校舍转让给地方区,在2018年政策改变后急剧增加,该政策要求以国家资金建造或翻修的任何学校拥有所有权。
Since 2003, the state has transferred 54 school buildings to local districts, a sharp increase after a 2018 policy change mandating ownership for any school built or renovated with state funds.
许多这类学校面临严重的结构性问题,包括屋顶漏水、模具、污水备份和地基倒塌。
Many of these schools suffer from severe structural issues, including leaking roofs, mold, sewage backups, and collapsing foundations.
农村地区无法利用因未并入社区而获得的当地税收,尽管对长期维持费用、责任以及国家供资前后不一感到关切,但说他们感到压力,不得不接受这些条件。
Rural districts, which cannot use local tax revenue due to unincorporated communities, say they feel pressured to accept these terms despite concerns over long-term maintenance costs, liability, and inconsistent state funding.
虽然国家坚持所有权条款是标准,但教育者警告该政策给已经面临贫穷和安全风险的资金不足地区造成不可持续的负担。
While the state maintains the ownership clause is standard, educators warn the policy places unsustainable burdens on underfunded districts already struggling with poverty and safety risks.
