The Alaska Supreme Court has unanimously reversed a Superior Court ruling that had struck down Alaska’s correspondence school statutes as unconstitutional, restoring the program as it has existed for the last ten years.

Alaska's News Source is telling Alaska's story ANCHORAGE , Alaska - “The Court got it right on this one,” Dunleavy wrote in a statement. “We were confident that the statutes were always constitutional. We thank the Alaska Supreme Court for its prompt decision in favor of the state. Correspondence programs and homeschool programs can continue in their entirety.”

The state argued that “private organization in the statute refers to a retailer or vendor, not a private institution,” which is what the state constitution refers to. As the parties that appeared before the justices Thursday agreed that school districts can approve the use of allotment funds by students enrolled in correspondence study to purchase books, computers, and art supplies from private businesses, justices said.
