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 2025. Seats A, B and C will run for a full three year term this will cover Assembly Districts 1, 2 and 3. Seats D, E and F will run for a two year term then in 2026 will run for a full three year term this will cover Districts 4, 5 and 6. Seat G will ban at large district will run for a one year term then in 2027 run a 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.
