As a retired teacher from Kenai Central High School in the early 90s I have noticed the effect of inflation on the budgets for Kenai Peninsula schools. This past week I attended several legislative hearings in Juneau on school funding. I was disappointed to find that many House members have disregarded the facts presented by School Boards from across Alaska that inflation has taken a significant bite out the base foundation program resulting in increased class sizes and major reductions in education programs.
