The proposed bill mandates that each school district in Alaska implement an educational program for students from kindergarten through grade 12 that focuses on the history and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. This program must include instruction on the significant roles these communities have played in the United States, as well as provide instructional materials that reflect their cultural and economic diversity.
To facilitate this initiative, a new section, AS 14.30.430, is added to the existing law, specifying the requirements for the educational program. The bill defines "school district" in accordance with AS 14.30.350, ensuring clarity in the implementation of these educational standards across all districts.
