floors in the Legislature on Wednesday as H.B. 97 and S.B. 107, respectively. If passed by the Legislature, the bill will offer cash bonuses to teachers over the next three years, offering larger sums to rural districts as high as $15,000.The president of Alaska’s largest teachers’ union,, Tom Klaameyer, feels there are more avenues to find and keep good teachers in Alaska. He says that it starts with raising the BSA, the formula used by the state to determine school district funding.
“It’s a temporary fix,” Klaameyer said. “It’s only three years long, it only addresses classroom teachers, not the many other educators that are in a building that go to helping students be successful from the time they get picked up on the bus to the time they arrive back home.” “The conversation needs to be first and foremost about an increase in the base student allocation,” he says, elaborating, “If there are additional things that can be done on top of that, we can have that conversation. The more resources directed to our public schools the better.”
