Mat-Su Borough: Joint Assembly/School Board Meeting - Sep. 8, 2026

Staff a disservice. These cancellations affect everyone. I have checked with 3 local businesses that offer daycare in Palmer. None of them have a bus or a van to transport students to school.

None of the elementaries that I know of have before or after school care, so this falls directly on the parents to fix. We're starting our 5th year of the 10-year contract, and the past does not look good. This cannot be the new normal. This is unacceptable, and our kids deserve better. Durham needs to be fined or ran out of town.

I don't know what the solution is. I do know that you guys are all elected officials, so please take this seriously, and let's come up with a solution.
