We’ve gone through the proposed regs one by one and compiled our own analysis here. Narda’s done a great job making this concise commentary.

What could be the most troubling change is very tiny but very significant. 4 AAC 33.460 will be amended to say that “the department may monitor correspondence study programs to ensure compliance.” So, after all this, the DEED may not even ensure compliance? Using the term ‘may’ instead of ‘will’ means that monitoring can be very subject to political whim. Incredible! Why bother following rules if one has friends in Juneau? Or if a district has enough political clout? This is, potentially, very disturbing policy.

Also very troubling are the number of regulations that conflict with our Charter and charter statute. Clearly, these proposed regulations do not comply with nor reflect the intent of statute.

So, take a look at Frontier’s analysis and let us know what you think by leaving a comment. Remember the last day for submitting written comment to DEED is May 8th.
