Time to single district the Anchorage School Board

  Originally written on April 27, 2020

Now that Two for all passed in the Tuesday, April 7th, 2020 municipal election.  We need to put six of the seven Anchorage School Board members in a single district.  One member will be at large and run in 2027 the same time as the mayor.  What we could do have all 7 members of school board run for election in 2026.  Seats A, B and C will run for a two year term this will cover Assembly Districts 1, 2 and 3.  Seats D, E and F will cover Assembly districts 4, 5 and 6.  The will run for a two year term then in 2028 will run for a full three year term.  Seat G  will run A one year term in 2026.  Then in 2027 run additional three year term.  We could also make it so the at large district person is paid more and is also the chair of the school.  This makes so the people choose the chair of the school board not the school board.  Now let's put more accountability in our school board by having them represent the neighborhood instead of having them campaign the whole city for a school board seat.  Have each school member be as neighborly as an Assembly member.
