2023 ASD School Bond: Security and Safety Upgrades

Did you know that the Anchorage School District (ASD) has more than 7 million square feet of facilities, has about 90 school and support buildings, and maintains the largest public facility footprint in the State of Alaska? 

As Alaska’s largest public school system, the District’s priority is to create a safe and secure environment for students and staff. Extending the useful life of its buildings ensures that the buildings adequately support the educational needs of our students. ASD budgets nearly $21 million annually for building and preventive maintenance. A quality school’s functional life, without major renewal, ranges from 30 to 50 years. However, for ASD’s schools and support buildings—many built in the 1960s and 1970s, additional funds beyond the maintenance budget are occasionally required.

This is accomplished through its annual Capital Improvement Program, funded by Municipal Bonds which will appear on the April 4thballot, during the Municipal Election.

The ASD bond is Proposition 1 on this year’s ballot.
