The Anchorage School Board is set to vote on a proposal that would move the K-8 charter school into the building that houses Abbott Loop Elementary, which is closing at the end of this school year.
A local charter school currently squeezed into a wing of an Anchorage high school may soon occupy a former elementary school in the district.
Under the new plan, the charter school would pay operational expenses like utilities and janitorial services at Abbott Loop. The charter school also would “We can’t accomplish our cultural mission at the current location,” testified Michael Patterson, a member of the school’s governing committee. Next year, the students now attending Abbott Loop will be split into two groups and head to nearby Kasuun and Trailside Elementary schools.
He said that the district analyzed school capacities alongside long-term maintenance needs and found the long-term improvements at Abbott Loop stretched beyond a fire suppression system. Refurbishing the building would cost almost the same as rebuilding it, he said.
