Bill > SB6

This bill requires each school district in Alaska to develop and implement an educational program for students from kindergarten through 12th grade that focuses on the history and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Specifically, the program must include two key components: (1) instruction that covers the historical experiences and significant contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States, and (2) instructional materials that showcase the cultural and economic diversity of these communities. The bill defines "school district" using the existing definition in Alaska Statute 14.30.350, ensuring a consistent interpretation across educational policies. By mandating this curriculum, the bill aims to promote cultural understanding, recognize the important role of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in U.S. history, and provide students with a more comprehensive and inclusive educational experience.
