The Senate Finance Committee is underway with its hearing on Mt. Edgecumbe High School. The committee led a junket to the boarding school last week after learning 25% of the student body left, with Sen. Hoffman calling the condition of the building "deplorable."

Langford credits DEED for scrounging up $73K to clean the dorms, 40 new mattresses, new furniture, stocking the vending machines, and replacing the 15-passenger van.
There's some talk on how frequently mattresses need to be replaced. They agree it should be sooner than 40 years.

She sounds like she’s blowing a racist dog whistle & sounds like the goal of the is admin is for MEHS to fail… or at least stop succeeding.

Important to remember that all this pain for MEHS is over a few million dollars.
To the point that Bishop was like "eh, do you really need all those kids on the debate team to go to the debate tournament?"
Meanwhile, it's totally fine the prisons spend tens of millions of dollars extra.
