The resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Alaska concerning public education. It seeks to revise Article VII, Section 1, to affirm that the legislature is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of public schools that are accessible to all children in the state, while ensuring that these schools remain free from sectarian control. Additionally, it stipulates that no public funds shall be allocated for the direct benefit of any religious or private educational institutions.
Furthermore, the amendment introduces a new subsection that acknowledges the unique cultural heritages of American Indians and Alaska Natives. It emphasizes the state's commitment to preserving their cultural integrity in the development and maintenance of public schools and educational institutions. The proposed amendments will be presented to the voters of Alaska during the next general election, in accordance with the state's constitutional and election laws.
