The 33-page decision issued Friday could impact thousands of Alaska school students who are homeschooled and attend correspondence schools.
State Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, said HB 278 — which he voted against in 2014 — created the foundation for current correspondence schools and their programs.ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A Superior Court judge ruled on Friday that the use of public money to fund private or religious institutions is unconstitutional.
HB 278 authorized school districts to provide an annual allotment to parents or guardians of a correspondence student for instructional expenses. Those allotments were used to purchase services or materials within the school for the course of study, aligned with state standards and other requirements. Families could receive as much as $4,500 per year per student with the allotment money outlined in HB 278.
Homeschool teacher and parent Brandy Pennington, who’s an intervenor in the case the ruling was issued in Friday, said she’s concerned for the many families who could be impacted by the ruling. “The bottom line is this isn’t really what people think it is,” Pennington said. “It’s about your personal liberties being stripped away without people knowing it. It’s like thinly disguised.”
