The Tanana City School District (TCSD) is the school district of Tanana, Alaska. Its sole school, Maudrey J. Sommer School, serves grades K-12. [2]
The school had 104 students in 1998. [3] As of August 2008, the school had five full-time teachers and five aides serving 56 students. [2] By January 2009 the enrollment had declined to 39 students. At the time, many villagers were leaving to find other jobs. [3]
In 2008 the district did not pay $100,000 worth of bills and invoices. Some of the bills had been left over from two years prior. In 2009 John Bania, the superintendent, announced that the school was in $200,000 worth of debt. He stated that he would either stop paying teachers or stop paying bills, unless the State of Alaska gave the district a bailout. [3]
A biomass system is used to power and heat the teacher housing. The school was scheduled to get a biomass heating system started before January 1, 2013. [4]
