Bill > HB329

This bill establishes an education scholarship program in Alaska that provides public funding for the education of eligible children. The program is administered by the Department of Education and Early Development and offers scholarships of $5,930 per school year to parents or guardians of children with certain criteria, such as being a child with a disability, attending a low-performing school, having a parent in the military, or having a parent who is blind, deaf, or hard of hearing. The scholarship funds can be used for tuition at private schools or the University of Alaska, tutoring, extracurricular activities, textbooks, curriculum materials, and student transportation. Parents or guardians must maintain documentation of expenses and return any unused funds to the department.
