In a question of what is and is not allowed for educational funding the state attorney general’s office is now providing legal guidance to school districts about the use of public funding for private schools.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - on whether publicly funded schools can pay for services from private schools. The purpose is to simply provide guidance on types of spending that are constitutional, unconstitutional, and what may fall into a gray area.
Earlier this month the U.S. Supreme Court came out with a decision on an educational program involving payment to a religious school vs a non-religious school . T “The Alaska constitution distinguishes between private and public schools and because we’re not focused on different types of private institutions, but rather just public and private and it doesn’t matter if you’re religious or not, that line of cases from the U.S. Supreme Court, after reviewing them carefully we found they did not really apply in the unique Alaska context we have here,” Mills said.
