Ben Eielson Junior-Senior High School in Fairbanks will be closing at the end of this school year.
The Fairbanks North Star Borough School Board this week voted 5 to 1 to close the school.
Ben Eielson is an on-base school for middle and high school students whose families are stationed at the Air Force base in Fairbanks.
This decision comes after Governor Dunleavy vetoed legislation providing much-needed funds to Alaska’s public schools.
State lawmakers tried to override that veto but didn’t have the votes.
