Alaska lawmakers increased the state budget allocation for school construction and maintenance to more than $148 million. The increase followed reporting by KYUK, ProPublica and NPR that documented deteriorating conditions in multiple districts. The new total is three times the amount previously set aside for the same purpose.
State assessments have identified repair needs that exceed the approved amount. Officials have not released a revised timeline for addressing the remaining projects. The budget line item covers both new construction and maintenance of existing facilities across the state.
