AK SB127

Amends AS 14.40.040 to authorize the Board of Regents of the University of Alaska to operate nine specified campuses as virtual vocational learning centers and distance learning portals after June 30, 2023.

Affected campuses include Kodiak College, Prince William Sound College, Bristol Bay Campus, Chukchi Campus, Interior Alaska Campus, Kuskokwim Campus, Northwest Campus, College of Rural and Community Development, and Ketchikan Campus.

Campuses would transition to offering distance learning curricula and virtual vocational training rather than traditional in-person operations.

Effective date of July 1, 2020 allows implementation before the June 30, 2023 deadline for full transition.
