Alaska HJR45 urges Congress to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

Alaska HJR45 expresses the state legislature's commitment to ensuring children with disabilities receive a free appropriate public education. The resolution highlights the federal government's underfunding of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which currently funds only about 13 percent of the average per-pupil cost for special education. This underfunding has led to challenges such as teacher vacancies, especially in rural areas, and increased financial burdens on families and local school districts. The resolution urges Congress to pass H.R.
