🎓 **Education Reform: A Priority for Our Future** 🎓


Brent Johnson believes in strengthening our education system for the betterment of our students and teachers. Here's how he proposes to make a difference:


🍎 1. **Increase Base Student Allocation (BSA)**: Raise the BSA to an adequate level and make it inflation-proof. This change will allow school boards and principals to plan ahead, retain outstanding educators, and fill critical vacancies efficiently.


💵 2. **Stable Funding**: Address the long-standing issue of unpredictable BSA funding which has plagued the Kenai Peninsula School District for years.


👨‍🎓 3. **Comprehensive Education**: Ensure funding not only covers the foundational three "Rs" (reading, writing, arithmetic) but also supports sports, music, and other essential school programs.


🚌. 4. **Safe Transportation**: Advocate for safe busing to provide all students the access they deserve.


📄 5. **Adherence to the State Constitution**: Public funds should be utilized for public schools exclusively, aligning with constitutional mandates.


🏡 6. **Support for Home Schools**: While supporting the need for home schooling resources like books and other educational materials, Brent insists on stringent accountability for these expenditures.


Brent is committed to an educational framework that serves all aspects of student development and adheres to fiscal responsibility. Let's ensure our children have the resources they need to succeed in today's world!

📧 Yesterday was a whirlwind of activity! Started with answering emails from supporters and potential contributors, followed by a morning filled with hands-on work and assembly communications. 🍔 Attended the Ninilchik Senior Center luncheon, where I had meaningful conversations with community members, including my former shop teacher and others who’ve supported me in past races. Your support keeps me going! 🚙 Spent the afternoon addressing questions from the Alaska Public Employees Association and tackling some long-overdue car repairs at home.

Remembering D-Day

6/6/1944 D-Day Invasion map below. The water body is Bay of Seine as the Seine River empties in on the east side. The Bay of Seine is about centered in the English Channel, directly south of London. The English Channel is wider here, because of the Bay, maybe 100 miles wide. Once ashore in the middle of the Bay, it was about 150 miles from Paris. Some 46% of the 160,000 Allied troops who landed were from the US. Around 56% of the 4,414 troops killed in the first day were American. Additionally, 5,000 troops were wounded. The land was defended by about 50,000 Germans in many heavily fortified positions. Allied airplanes assisting in the invasion numbered 11,590, including 867 gliders. 13,348 American paratroopers were among about 18,000 paratroopers who landed first, just after midnight. We can be sure every one of these soldiers wanted to win and go home. Today, the 80th Anniversary of d-Day, I’m delighted to see the survivors who are still alive. Life is so precious and these guys are...
