Pearl Creek School Lease in Legal Limbo | Anchorage News

The Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly voted 6-2 to lease the old Pearl Creek Elementary School to a STEAM charter school—but it’s not yet official. The charter must first secure its operating contract and funding, and the case remains stuck in court after a judge blocked the district from being forced to open the building. Supporters say leasing the vacant facility saves taxpayer money on upkeep, while officials believe the lease could strengthen the charter’s legal appeal. The borough has already set aside over $268,000 for maintenance, which the charter would inherit if the deal moves forward.
