The bill mandates that each school district in Alaska establish a program for students in kindergarten through grade 12 that focuses on the history and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. This program must include instruction on the historical significance and achievements of these communities in the United States, as well as provide instructional materials that reflect their cultural and economic diversity.

To implement this requirement, a new section, AS 14.30.430, is added to the existing law, specifying the obligations of school districts regarding this educational content. The bill aims to enhance the curriculum by ensuring that students receive a comprehensive understanding of the contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to American society.
