Lynn at Homeschool2.0 has a post up about a recent question and answer period the DEED (Alaska’s state education department) held concerning the proposed regulations that would affect in-district programs. The bottom line of the reasoning for the proposed regulations is the resemblance to the statewide programs and as a way to establish “equity”. That seems like […]

Over at Homeschool2.0, Lynn blogs about Frontier Academy’s own legal analysis of Alaska’s proposed regulations. This is worth reading if you have been following this situation of proposed regulations for the statewide and in-district correspondence schools (this includes charter schools or at least some of them).

I just came across this interview dating back to spring of 2001. I’d like to know if Alaska’s charter school law has changed much since its inception. Perhaps, there have been no major problems over the past seven years, and most are satisfied with the charter school law?

When discussions about homeschooling and public school-at-home programs arise, it often becomes focused on defining homeschooling.

Public school-at-home programs fall under a public schooling definition. Here is an example of a public school definition for one state. And […]

Lynn over at Homeschool 2.0 has been following this in her state. One might make an assumption that a charter school founder might be in league with the Alaska Home Educator’s Alliance in advocating for less regulation for Alaska’s statewide correspondence schools; however, that’s not the case.
