The bill amends existing laws related to district-wide early education programs in Alaska. Specifically, it modifies AS 14.17.500(d) to state that a student in an approved early education program is counted as a full-time equivalent student, rather than as one-half of a full-time equivalent student. Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision in subsection (e) while repealing subsections (f) and (g) of the same section, which are no longer deemed necessary.

Furthermore, the bill repeals several other sections of current law, including AS 14.03.120(h), 14.03.410, 14.03.420, and others, streamlining the legal framework surrounding early education programs. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
