HB69

Education: Funding

Vetoed·4/22/25

Alaska HB69 increases education funding by adjusting the base student allocation based on inflation rates and additional fixed amounts.

Alaska HB69 mandates the Department of Education to increase the base student allocation starting July 1, 2025, by a percentage based on the average inflation rate over the preceding four years, plus an additional $1,000. For 2026 and 2027, the increase is based on the same inflation rate plus $404. From 2028 onwards, the increase is solely based on the inflation rate. This adjustment aims to ensure education funding keeps pace with the cost of living in urban Alaska.
