# 11/2/26 ASD School Board Meeting

The Anchorage School District Board meeting on November 2, 2026 included a 7–0 approval of ASD Memorandum 059, authorizing an $11,832,499 transfer for FY2025–26. The transfer covers lower-than-anticipated student nutrition revenue, additional contracted-services costs for Alaska Middle College, and the movement of FEMA funds to capital projects. Members discussed the uncertainty in projecting Alaska Middle College costs and school-meal reimbursements, including rising program costs and possible state-level support for universal meals. No vendor selection or contract award was identified.

The board also received a technical report on third-grade reading proficiency and heard public comment about educator workload and retention. A 2027 bond proposal focused on school safety and structural upgrades across district buildings is expected at the next board meeting; it was not acted on at this meeting. Committee discussions included right-sizing and public engagement, with no other procurement decisions identified.
