It energizes us to keep pushing for the positive changes we want to see reflected in our schools and our community.”
As he seeks re-election, Jacobs is steadfast in his commitment to improving Anchorage city schools. His focus includes expanding programs for independent, living skills and career and technical education. Recognizing the importance of collaboration, he continues to work with local, state, and federal stakeholders to secure the resources needed for ASD to succeed and to adequately compensate the hardworking Alaskans who shape our children’s future.
