Description

Alaska’s Mt. Edgecumbe High School, a critical boarding school for Native students, faces a crisis as the governor vetoes funding for a new maintenance position—despite two of three budgeted roles being vacant. With crumbling facilities and a quarter of students leaving in the past year, lawmakers are sounding the alarm, but the governor’s office argues against adding jobs when existing ones aren’t filled. The tension highlights a growing dilemma: how to preserve vital education infrastructure while navigating fiscal restraint.
