The board of education voted Wednesday to hold a special meeting on July 1 in which they could discuss correspondence program regulations, Education Commission Deena Bishop said. But under a law advanced by Dunleavy when he was a state senator a decade ago, many limitations on the use of the funds were lifted, and families — including that of Attorney General Treg Taylor — were increasingly using the allotments to cover the cost of private and religious school tuition.
Sonneborn said that once the court issues its ruling, the board could meet and immediately implement emergency regulations without taking public comment. Emergency regulations could remain in place for 120 days before the board would be required to take further action. During the final weeks of the legislative session, several lawmakers, including Senate Education Committee Chair Sen. Löki Tobin, D-Anchorage, and House Education Committee Co-Chair Rep. Justin Ruffridge, R-Soldotna, said it was important for the Legislature to adopt a bill providing the families of correspondence students certainty on the future of the programs before the end of the session.
