The Ketchikan Gate way Borough Assembly likely will be able to avoid overdrawing from its Local Education Fund in the upcoming fiscal year under the Ketchikan School District s draft operating budget, the borough finance director said on Monday.
The Assembly-Ketchikan School Board Liaison Committee met on Monday in the Assembly chambers to discuss solutions to the ongoing deficit in the LEF.
District Business Manager Katie Parrott told members of the committee, which includes members of the School Board and the Assembly, about the changes she conveyed to the board s Finance Committee on Friday. We adjusted down the discretionary contribution ask (from the borough) by the exact amount that the required local contribution went up, Parrott explained on Friday. So, essentially what we did, is, we re asking for the exact same amount as last year â so, we didn t increase our ask.

 The Ketchikan School Board approved all items on its agenda at its regular meeting on Wednesday night with no opposition, and did not take any actions after discussing the Ketchikan School Districtâs budget priorities.
Prior to the budget discussion, Acting Superintendent Katie Parrott presented the board with the results of the districtâs budget survey as part of her superintendentâs report. No members of the board asked questions of Parrott at the end of the presentation.
The two items of new business on the agenda offered a quick change of topic. Board members unanimously approved an updated Memorandum of Agreement between the district and its two charter schools, Ketchikan Charter School and the Tongass School of Arts and Sciences, then approved a contract extension with district psychologist Brian Adams.
