HB 313 Alaska House · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to professional employee organizations in public schools; and providing for an effective date.

HB 313 requires Alaska public school districts to provide equal access to school facilities and communication systems for all professional employee organizations (PEOs), such as teacher unions, upon request. It prohibits school districts from using a PEO's name on school calendars for special days or holidays, and bans granting exclusive access to facilities or communication systems to any single PEO. The bill defines "professional employee organization" as groups focused on improving instruction and professional standards for educators. It takes effect on July 1, 2026, applying to all public school districts in Alaska.
