An Act relating to district-wide early education programs; and providing for an effective date.

HB 183 adjusts how students in approved district-wide early education programs are counted for state funding, maintaining that each such student counts as half a full-time equivalent student. The bill repeals outdated sections of Alaska's education code (including AS 14.03.120(h) and AS 14.17.500(f)) that previously governed these programs. This change directly affects school districts operating early education programs approved by the Department of Education. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2025, streamlining funding calculations while removing obsolete legal provisions.
