District news
Enrollment falls again: 3,767 projected, down from 3,832
What happened
The district projects 3,767 students for 2026-27, down from a reconciled 3,832 in 2025-26 (which itself came in 22 below projection). Enrollment drives Alaska's per-student funding formula, so the decline cuts state revenue about $2.1 million below the prior-year revised level.
Why it matters to families
Fewer students means less state money every year the trend continues — it is the main force behind the district's recurring budget gap and will shape future staffing and program decisions.
