The governor announced two education bills; one designed to retain teachers in the state, and one that alters parental and student rights.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Gov. Mike Dunleavy announced education-focused legislation Tuesday that he hopes will find new solutions to problems facing Alaska’s public education system.
“The highest tier payments are directed to Alaska’s remote and rural schools,” a press release from the governor’s office said. “The $10,000 tier is targeted toward rural schools that, despite their remoteness, are sufficiently linked to Alaska’s urban networks to allow for more regular access to goods and services. The $5,000 tier is focused on incentivizing teachers in Alaska’s most urbanized areas.
It is unknown how this differs from a parent’s current rights to withdraw their student from classroom activities or access records.
