Bill > SJR22

This resolution proposes an amendment to the Alaska Constitution to enhance the state's commitment to public education and cultural heritage. Specifically, it amends Article VII, Section 1 of the Constitution to explicitly state that the legislature shall establish and maintain a system of public schools open to all children, ensuring these schools are free from sectarian control and that public funds do not directly benefit religious or private educational institutions. Furthermore, it adds a new subsection recognizing the distinct and unique cultural heritages of American Indians and Alaska Natives, and commits the state to preserving their cultural integrity within the public school system and other educational institutions. If approved by the legislature, these proposed amendments will be presented to the voters for their decision at the next general election.
