RED AT THE ROUNDABOUT – More than 200 demonstrators rally at the roundabout Wednesday afternoon in support of raising the state’s contribution to public schools. The Sitka School District faces a shortfall of $1.5 million to $3.2 million in the 2025 budget, depending on the amount the Legislature finally approves. The School Board is obligated to submit a budget to the Sitka Assembly by next Wednesday. (Sentinel Photo by James Poulson)
