Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavys tenure has been marked by a consistent decrease in public school funding, despite rising costs due to inflation. He has refused to increase the Base Student Allocation, leaving districts short on cash. Meanwhile, he has allocated millions to correspondence programs. Despite larger education budgets passed by lawmakers, Dunleavy has vetoed them, contradicting public support and his own partys stance. This has led to overcrowded classrooms, job cuts, and program reductions, negatively impacting students. Dunleavys refusal to increase school funding over the past three years has resulted in a challenging legacy for him, as Alaska families await genuine solutions to improve education.
