As we approach the April 1, 2025, Anchorage School Board election, our campaign is dedicated to improving our schools through a nonpolitical, community-driven approach. I’ve spent the past two months, since January 13, 2025, engaging with Anchorage families where they are: at community councils, the VFW, the Air Force Sergeants Association, sporting events, band concerts, food trucks, School Choice Expo, etc. Without spending a dime on ads, we’ve organically reached 16,000–1

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

Alaska’s kids and Alaska’s wild-caught fish are two of our most precious resources. This post explores the role of fish in school lunches, food quality, and local stewardship—and why community input and local control matter when decisions affect our children and our future.

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

Students asking questions in class. Hi Mr. Rosales, I am a student in West Anchorage High School. I am highly concerned about the current School Board's actions to implement the Academies of Anchorage. If elected, will you support the Academies of Anchorage?

I share your concerns about the school board adopting the Academies of Anchorage. I

"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

As a candidate for the Anchorage School Board, I believe in fostering an open dialogue with our community, especially when it comes to critical issues like budget management, educational policy, and the welfare of our students and educators.

Our campaign is powered by an extraordinary team from all walks of life, united to transform education in Anchorage. The vast majority include the parents and teachers that I have talked to in the past 5 years about the status of the district but unable to speak openly on their own. Powering the campaign, are 4 Alaskans. Each from completely different walks of life. There's no way I'd be set up for this campaign without their strength and dedication. Here's a closer look a

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

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.

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
