Alaska Governor Michael J. Dunleavy originally hoped to have HB 2001 completed this week, however a thorough examination and review of the bill is still being finalized. A final announcement will be made on Monday, August 19th.
Ahead of Monday, Governor Dunleavy today announced the restoration of two more education-related items included within HB 2001 totaling $809,100:
“Like funds restored earlier in the week for Head Start, Early Childhood Grants and other early learning programs, these decision were made after significant input from Alaskans,” said Governor Dunleavy. “While we hoped to have these issues cleared up months ago, it’s important we announce these items now before the start of the school year.”
