HB 125 supports military families by allowing private employers to provide a hiring preference to the spouses and dependents of active military members, those on furlough, or honorably discharged veterans from the U.S. Armed Forces, reserve units, the Alaska Territorial Guard, the Alaska Army National Guard, the Alaska Air National Guard, or the Alaska Naval Militia.

The Alaska home school statute states that compulsory attendance is met “if a child is being educated in the child’s home by a parent or legal guardian.” Parents intending to homeschool their children are not required to register with the state or their local school district. Additionally, there are no requirements to notify, seek approval, test, file forms, or have any teacher qualifications. In Alaska, Correspondence programs are district-supported schooling options in the home. "Homeschooling" refers to schooling without district affiliation. For full statute reference see: Alaska Stat. §14.45.100-14.45.200, §14.30.010(b)(1)(B), §14.30.010(b)(1)(C), §14.30.010(b)(10)(B); §14.20.020, §14.30.010(b)(11).

Alaska Statute Sec. 14.30.365. outlines the interscholastic eligibility criteria for students in grades 9-12, who are enrolled in alternative education (home school). If a student is enrolled in an alternative education program, they can still participate in sports and other school activities at the public school they would normally attend based on where their parents or legal guardians reside. To be eligible, students must meet the requirements of both the school and the statewide interscholastic activities governing body, provide necessary documentation, and maintain eligibility at the same school throughout the school year.
