guided tours and a film presentation. Visitors learn about Celtic tree classification and learn the Celtic folk stories.

The Aleutian Region School District is celebrating its strongest budget in recent years under Superintendent
(主管) Mike Hanley’s leadership. Approved for the 2024 — 2025 school year on June 6, the budget shows careful
financial management amidst significant changes. These include the closure of Adak School due to low enrollment
and the reopening of Nikolski School after a decade.
The closure of Adak School triggered state “hold harmless” funds aimed at covering closure-related expenses
and maintaining facilities. Meanwhile, the reopening of Nikolski School has increased state funding due to higher
student enrollment.
Hanley stressed the district’s careful financial stewardship, ensuring expenditures in accordance with projected
revenues. Despite allocating funds for maintenance, a surplus of $256,000 is projected for the upcoming school
year.
There is also optimism regarding a potential one-time increase in the Base Student Allocation (BSA) fund,
depending on approval by Governor Mike Dunleavy before June 28. If approved, this increase could put an
additional $153,000 into the district’s budget.
Community support has significantly increased the district’s financial standing, particularly from the Nikolski
community, which provided a building and housing for teachers, thus reducing reopening costs.
Hanley expressed confidence in the district’s financial stability, saying these surpluses and potential additional
funding as crucial in preempting future budgetary challenges. Unlike many districts across Alaska struggling with
stagnant funding since 2017, the Aleutian Region School District is to maintain its educational programs and
staffing levels without needing to make cuts.
第 4页/共 12页
In conclusion, through conducting careful financial management, gaining external support, and making
strategic decisions following school closures and reopenings, the district has positioned itself well for the upcoming
academic year.
4. What prompted the “hold harmless” funds for the Aleutian Region School District?
A. Increase in student enrollment. B. Budget surplus allocation.
C. Reopening of Nikolski School. D. Shutdown of Adak School.
5. What impact did the reopening of Nikolski School have on the district’s finances?
A. Budget deficit. B. Teacher layoffs. C. Increased state funding. D. Decreased community
support
6. What is the expected outcome of Governor Mike Dunleavy’s decision by June 28?
A. Closure of Nikolski School. B. Increase in student enrollment.
C. Reduction in maintenance costs. D. Additional funds for the district.

A. By donating textbooks. B. By reducing student fees.

A snowstorm was supposed to hit on the evening of Monday, Jan. 31, 2022. I was working from home, but I
had to leave that afternoon and go to my office at First Nations University in Regina, Saskatchewan, so I could sign
an emergency financial aid check for a student. As director of finance, I wanted to get it to him as soon as possible,
snowstorm or not. Besides, I wasn’t worried. I figured I had more than enough time to make it to the office and get
back home.
The route to the university took about 30 minutes along the Trans-Canada Highway. When I got there, my
colleague Jack came to my office to co-sign the check, then he left for the day. As I was packing up, I noticed Jack
had left his laptop bag in my office.
“Shoot,” Jack said when I called him. “I’m already home.”
“I can bring it to you,” I assured him. It was just past 4:30 p. m. The snow wasn’t supposed to start until later,
but just to be safe, I decided to take the country roads to his home instead of the highway. On the way to his place, I
