Here is a listing of those “educational” institutions that high school graduates attend using their Alaska Performance Scholarship funds. Now these educational/training organizations may be providing some great instruction to post-high school students. But these are state funds and are being used to fund other than public education. Doesn’t this violate the Alaska Constitution, Article 7?
“No money shall be paid from public funds for the direct benefit of any religious or other private educational institution.”
As one can see, there are several educational institutions that are either private or religious. The question still remains, “Does this violate the Alaska Constitution?”. And if so, why are they being funded with public monies?
Here is the list from the Department of Education & Early Development.
The following Alaska postsecondary institutions and training centers are approved to participate in the Alaska Performance Scholarship (APS) program for the upcoming academic year.
