Local schools more populous than expected

This article is from the Anchorage Daily News. It was written by Megan Holland. This story is about the hard times that are hitting Alaska. It tells about rural students that have moved to the city's because of high cost of living. One school has an increase of at least 25 new kids from last years numbers.
The Author gives many examples of the problem in Anchorage. One way that Anchorage is dealing with it is to hire 18 new teachers and staff. This will cost them 1.7 million dollars. The interesting thing is that they are gaining students and we are loosing them. What are we going to do?
