Excerpt from alaskabeacon.comThe Alaska Supreme Court proposed hearing the state’s appeal to a court case that struck down key components of its correspondence school program before the end of June.
Oral arguments would be held June 25, five days before the end of a hold on the lower court’s ruling.
Superior Court Judge Adolf Zeman ruled that two sections of state law allowed public funds, in the form of per student allotments, to be spent at private and religious organizations in violation of the state constitution. Attorneys for the state appealed the decision last week.
The court date comes as lawmakers seek statutory fixes to stabilize correspondence programs for the families that use them.
