In an interview with the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Johnson explained her view on the district's most pressing issues:[4]
|
"I think the biggest is the budget, specifically, all the teachers that were laid off and the increased class sizes that resulted from it this year. Working to resolve it, taking a look at the budget and seeing where things can be moved around to get teachers back on staff more than they had to hire this year and just looking to see that not happen again." |
