Bill > HB288

This bill amends Alaska law to allow city or borough school districts to make a voluntary local contribution to charter schools in any amount, removing previous limitations that capped the voluntary contribution at a specific tax levy equivalent or a percentage of the district's basic need. It also clarifies that the "amount generated by students enrolled in the charter school" for budget purposes includes this voluntary local contribution, and broadens the definition of "local contribution" to include appropriations and in-kind services made by a district for any purpose. These changes aim to provide more flexibility for local school districts in supporting charter schools and will take effect on July 1, 2026.
