Your take on the natural resource  development crapshoot on the guest sign is different than mine -  we have a legal headstart over other states in  Federal authority to export -  even if congress passes and opening of export it's already two other states, it will take time for that  controversial legislation to pass. Also, estimates of the quantity of Alaska gas available has increased; and estimated construction costs have either decreased or held near-constant. But I agree, as with most things related to  natural resources, It's a bit of a crapshoot..
 As for legal and ethical he equal education, you wear your face! 
When all the schools on the road system are obliged to run digital schools without classroom teachers, then the same obligation would be appropriate for rural schools. 
In Alaska, providing a  constitutionally mandated equal education should not be dependent on regional property taxes. Equal educational opportunity MEANS equal equal educational  opportunity!!
