An Act relating to the education of visually impaired students in public schools.

SB 127 requires Alaska public schools to include braille instruction in the individualized education plans of visually impaired students, unless other services are specifically determined to be more appropriate for the student's needs - though braille instruction must still be available regardless. It also establishes a state program to provide specialized educational services, materials, and teachers for visually impaired children aged 3 to 22, and mandates in-person braille training for current teachers. The bill defines "braille" as Standard English Braille, Grade 2, to standardize implementation. This law directly affects visually impaired students, school districts, and educators in Alaska's public schools.
