Budget update:
  • There is a Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly Meeting on Thursday, May 7, 2015 at 6:00 PM at the Borough Assembly Hall, downtown. This is an opportunity for public testimony to the board for our local funding contributions. As of now, there are a lot of cuts and we need additional local funding to keep our class sizes down. This will affect you and your children! I will be there to testify and I hope you are too!
