Veteran Dad Calls Out ASD on Radio: Why We Must Uphold American Values in Our Schools
Happy Veterans Day! As we honor those who've served our nation, it's a fitting moment to reflect on the values that bind us; liberty, equality, and service. That's why I called into Mike Porcaro's show on 650AM KENI yesterday to address the Anchorage School District's troubling decisions: adding disclaimers to our founding documents and omitting Veterans Day from the school calendar. As a Veteran and Dad with two daughters in ASD, and a candidate for the Anchorage School

AEA PACE School Board Candidate Questionnaire
As a candidate for the Anchorage School Board in the April 2026 election (voting is on April 7th, set a calendar reminder). I believe in open dialogue with all stakeholders, including educators who shape our children's futures every day. That's why I submitted detailed responses to the Anchorage Education Association's (AEA) questionnaire, even though my views on empowering parents and local control may differ from some union positions. This is about building bridges in our

Alaska Task Force On Education Funding
Friends, parents, teachers, and fellow Alaskans! Today's inaugural meeting of the bipartisan Task Force on Education Funding (formed under HB 57) was a wake-up call and a beacon of hope for our schools. As a veteran, educator, and parent who's officially filed to run for Anchorage School Board in 2026, I'm fired up about turning these insights into action. Anchorage kids deserve better than 49th in the nation. We need to climb those rankings together with parent-driven choi

HB69’s $807 Million Education Mirage: A Fiscal Time Bomb for Alaska’s Kids
No money? No problem. Let's just charge it. On March 6, 2025, the Alaska House Rules Committee rammed House Bill 69 (HB69) through to the House floor with a 5-2 vote, dangling a $251 million education boost for 2025-26 that balloons to $807 million by 2031. They did this without a single dollar identified to pay for it. I testified against this bill on January 29, 2025, before the House Education Committee, drawing on my Government fiscal law experience, years as a military

Why Are You Running For Anchorage School Board, and What Makes You Qualified?
Alexander Rosales, Candidate | Anchorage School District Seat A This being the SECOND interview from ADN, I was excited to share my answers. Easiest answer to this question... I am a proven leader without last in results, ever. My opponent is the unqualified one in this race. As part of the 2025 Anchorage School Board candidate survey from the Anchorage Daily News, I was asked: Why are you running for the Anchorage School Board, and what makes you qualified for the job? He

Child Safety First: My Response To Public Racism
"Lunch Lady", Halloween 2022, Alpenglow Elementary Cafeteria Manager In the last 30 days since filing to run for school board, I have encountered more racism than at any other time in my life. Surprising, was the hate coming from elected officials and those running for office. No racism when working in the school district (Lunch Lady picture above). I did not know where it was all coming from all of a sudden. Sadly, it originated from someone I have invited over to my hous

No Sanctuary for Illegal Immigration in Our Schools
As a candidate for the Anchorage School District (ASD) School Board, I hope that my run for office is not too late. Especially with regards to the implementation of sanctuary policies for illegal immigrants. This policy comes at a time where resources are stretched thin in the district, teachers are crying out for help, and students are years behind.... The Superintendent's Stance Is Misguided and Dangerous to Students The stance taken by our superintendent does not align w

Response to: Superintendent's Message on ASD FY26 Budget Proposal; Please Read
I am running for Anchorage School Board because our district urgently needs strong leadership to address the financial mismanagement and lack of transparency that have persisted for too long. The Superintendent's message echos more of the same from the School District.

Public Testimony On House Bill 69
I am Alexander Rosales, a parent of two kiddos in the Anchorage School District... I'm here to oppose House Bill 69 and urge you to reconsider its passage for the sake of our kids' financial future. My stance is driven by the need for fiscal responsibility in the state and effective educational reform. We spend in the top 6 of the nation, yet our results are nearly last. Our district spends an astonishing $21,000 per student, which is already 59% of our overall spending. Howe
