Local Schools more populous than expected

What do you know about this topic?
What I know about this topic is that there are students and their families moving to Anchorage to for jobs and school letting there be a cause of gas prices rising.
What do you think of it?
I think it is a big issue because they were wondering about migration and the cost of fuel and more and more people coming from different places increasing the population in Anchorage.
Do you agree with the author?
I agree what the author, people are coming all over the bush to go to Anchorage for a higher education and parents going in for a better job. And when more and more people drive into Anchorage , it makes the gas prices higher when lot of people are buying gas to go in the city
What is your opinion on this article?
Since we are living in the Bush , I know how these families feel, they want to more education for there kids because there are some schools with students that have a lack of education and they want to make it better for them and also for the parents finding a good job. There was a student here at GMSHS that went to Anchorage this year to go to school and she is a junior.

Summary:

Anchorage Schools are getting more populous with students coming from the Bush to Anchorage for high education, also with families coming for high paying jobs. There’s 48,320 students in 100 schools and they are expecting more. People are driving to Anchorage, buying gas, which is causing the price of fuel to get higher. They are spending a lot of money for new teachers to teach lot of these kids.
