Education (School Safety)

HB 240 requires Alaska public school districts to adopt written policies prohibiting digital harassment and nonconsensual digital impersonation (defined as fake digital content that misrepresents an identifiable person to deceive others). These policies must be shared with students, parents, and staff, and school districts must report related incidents to the state education department annually. The bill also mandates that state-provided training materials include specific guidance on addressing these digital harms. It directly affects all Alaska school districts and their students by establishing clear standards for preventing and responding to online abuse.
