The Unalaska City School District has asked the city to increase its contribution to local public schools in fiscal year 2024, including dedicating $140,000 in new funding for student activities. Superintendent Jim Wilson made the nearly $5.5 million request to the City Council this month. Meanwhile, councilors are also weighing funding for the Community Support program, which awards grants to local nonprofits. Eight organizations have requested a total of $1.5 million.
The City Council expressed unanimous support last month for raising the senior refund from $200 to $400. “The cost of living going up, the cost of airfare just everything has put a real burden on our senior citizens,” said Councilor Daneen Looby. “And I feel like they don’t have a means to increase their income, like the younger generation does.”
