State laws allowing some Alaska students to use public funds to pay for private and religious schools will remain in place through the end of June, but not after then, an Anchorage Superior Court judge
Zeman granted that request Thursday, but denied a request from the administration of Gov. Mike Dunleavy to pause the decision for a longer period until the Alaska Supreme Court can hear the case on appeal. Correspondence programs, which broadly allow homeschooled students to receive public funds to pay for educational materials under the direction of certified teachers, long predated Dunleavy’s proposal, which limited the guardrails that the state and districts could implement on the uses of the allotments.
