The House and Senate Education Committees will take public testimony on “Alaska’s education funding crisis” this week on Wednesday and Friday.
Both the House and Senate have kicked off the session with education funding as a priority, and the legislature hopes to pass a BSA bill early in the session. To that end, both the House and Senate Education Committees are offering public testimony opportunities this week to address HB 69 and the state of Alaska's education funding. This bill would introduce immediate inflation proofing and a $1,000 increase to the BSA for FY26 and
an additional increase of $404 for FY27 and FY28
These committee hearings are the best opportunity for you to tell the legislature about the impacts of state funding decisions on our local budgets and programs in Petersburg.

🌊The 6th and 7th graders are gearing up for their Underwater ROV project by diving into the science of ocean currents. This week, they’ve been exploring how factors like salinity and temperature influence the movement of ocean water. Hands-on learning like this lays the foundation for their upcoming project and builds a deeper understanding of the forces shaping our marine environments! 🌊
🎊 Last week we got to celebrate all the hard work our middle schoolers did in Quarter 2. We are so proud of them and we can't wait to see what they get up to this quarter 🎊
📷 Big shoutout to Mr. Crump for taking photos during the Awards Assembly📷
Our LEGO robotics team has been hard at work preparing for the upcoming state competition in just a couple of weeks. This past week, they had an exciting opportunity to collaborate with researchers from Oregon State University, who had visited last summer to study LeConte Glacier using their own ROVs. The 8th graders engaged in a brainstorming session, incorporating valuable feedback from the researchers to enhance the design and functionality of their own ROV. We’re thrilled to see their creativity and determination in action and can’t wait to cheer them on when they head to state!
Happy Monday! Please see the High School/Middle School Bulletin and/or This Week’s Happenings for more details.

Greetings Petersburg Staff and Families,
On Tuesday, January 7, our school district was informed by our student information system provider, PowerSchool, of a large data breach that impacted their company. This morning I learned that our district is one of dozens across the world whose information is part of that breach.
It is important to note that our district was not individually targeted and PowerSchool has provided assurance that the compromised data was deleted and that no additional copies of the data currently exist. They will be providing us with additional information on January 17 which I will pass on to you.
The privacy and security of student and staff data is a top priority of our district. We will continue to monitor this situation carefully and keep you informed as we learn more.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Kind Regards,
Robyn Taylor, Superintendent
Petersburg School District
