The Anchorage Daily News asked candidates for Anchorage School Board in the 2020 election to answer a series of questions, many of which were based on suggestions from readers. Find the candidates and their answers below. (We also surveyed candidates for Anchorage Assembly.)
Note: This survey was sent and candidates’ responses were collected in February, before the first confirmed case of the new coronavirus was reported in Alaska.
