More school funding wtf did you know Alaska ranks #2 in money spent on students over $17,000 per student. You [bleep] in glennallen if you would let Valdez bring you into their borough maybe you have more money for schools but oh yeah glennallen doesn't want that cause you guys don't want to pay borough taxes. If I spelled burrough wrong then I blame it on auto correct.



I know you are not well informed on Alaska Education issues so lets just look at the major driver of the $17,000 per student in Alaska...

$10 fuel oil in Arctic Village
The Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and
Economic Development conducts a semi-annual survey
of fuel prices in 100 Alaska communities. For most of the
communities, fuel prices didn�t change much between
2013 and 2014.
The towns with the highest fuel prices were wholly dependent
on air transportation for their supplies, followed
by communities that depend on seasonal barge delivery.
(See Exhibit 11.)
Gasoline prices ranged from $3.69 a gallon in Fairbanks
to $10 in Arctic Village. Arctic Village also had the most expensive heating fuel at $10 a gallon.



Does this help?
