proposed by Gov. Mike Dunleavy earlier this month has been called a “distraction” by advocates of a school funding increase, who worry the governor’s proposal could take the focus away from the looming budget crisis many school districts have forecast.
Meanwhile, the House Education Committee held initial hearings Monday on two separate bills proposed by Dunleavy — one that he described as a “parental rights” measure, which would limit sexual education, and another that would provide annual pay bonuses to teachers.
require children to use bathrooms according to their “biological sex”; require parental approval for kids to change the name or pronouns they use in school; and order schools to notify parents about their rights to sue their kids’ schools if their rights are violated. Lisa Parady, director of the Alaska Council of School Administrators, said the governor’s sexual education bill “seems to really strip away local control and the local school districts’ ability to govern themselves” and that “this seems to be more of an Outside national response to issues that we’re not necessarily seeing problems with.”
