This bill amends Alaska's education law regarding the local contributions made by city or borough school districts. It introduces a new section, AS 14.17.530, which mandates that local school boards define specific terms related to various educational services, including "student transportation," "nutrition services," and "career and technical education." This clarification aims to standardize the understanding of these terms for the purpose of calculating local contributions.

Additionally, the bill modifies the definition of "local contribution" in AS 14.17.990(6). It specifies that local contributions include appropriations and the value of in-kind services made by a district, but explicitly excludes contributions related to student transportation, nutrition services, food services, early education programs, and other specified educational activities. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
