A new policy passed by the Anchorage School Board will make student community workforce agreements a requirement for Anchorage School District construction projects that cost over $1 million.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A new policy passed by the Anchorage School Board will make student community workforce agreements a requirement for Anchorage School District construction projects that cost over $1 million, effective within 30 days of passage and approval by the school board.
Before Tuesday’s meeting, the proposal online outlined the qualifications for a construction project to meet the requirements to be subject to a student community workforce agreement, which include renovations, new construction, expansion, or demolition when costs are estimated to exceed $1 million.
“There are too many questions and not enough evidence proving the claim CWA’s will improve the economy or efficiency of a project,” Associated General Contractors of Alaska Executive Director Alicia Amberg testified on Tuesday. “Please vote no on this policy.” “So we’ve been through this over and over and over again, and every time the administration says, ‘well give us more time to think about it,’” board member Pat Higgins said. “It’s been a very long process. I think all of our meetings have been properly, publicly posted. We’ve got a good effort here.”
