The bill would increase the base per-student state funding to school districts by $680, the first substantial increase since 2016.
Sen. Löki Tobin, D-Anchorage and the chair of the Senate Education Committee, looks on as the Senate considers Senate Bill 140 on Feb. 26, 2024.
The bonuses and charter school approval reforms were included in an earlier version of the bill that failed in a 20-20 House vote. “I think we’ve made major progress, and I’m really proud of the fact that this House sent us a bill that we could agree to, and it’s out, it’s done,” Stevens said after the vote. “Now we’ll see what happens when the next shoe falls. ”
