Kindergarten through 3rd grade students will receive $1580.00. Students in the 4th through 8th grades will be allotted $1780.00. High school students will be able to spend $2180.00 on educational materials and services. Allotment funds are first used to purchase core curriculum and the balance can be applied to non-core courses such as physical education and the arts. Funds may also be used to purchase both course-related school supplies and technology needs.

• Students in Kindergarten through the 12th Grade.
• Students must be full-time Alaska residents.
• Students must not be attending another public school.

• Full-Time Enrollment: Typically, this is a traditional home-schooled child. Students will receive a full allotment and all of their coursework through the PACE program.
• Part-Time Enrollment: Students who choose not to enroll full-time in PACE can take between one and three classes. At least half of these courses must be in “core” subject areas as outlined in the proposed regulations. PACE has researched numerous curriculum offerings that will satisfy this requirement. Elective classes will be offered through PACE using local vendors who we will contract directly through. Examples of these elective courses include music instruction, dance instruction, etc. This will allow us to continue to offer these important courses to our students. Allotments will be based on the percentage of enrollment.

• Curriculum: PACE prides itself on offering a wide variety of excellent curricular materials that are chosen by certified Alaskan educators, reviewed and approved by the Craig City School District, and that meet State Correspondence Regulations.
• Technology Equipment: PACE offers each enrolled student the use of a current desktop or laptop Apple computer. Other technology equipment, such as printers or scanners, that are necessary under the student Program of Study may be purchased using the student funding allotment.
• Increased Student Funding: Kindergarten through 3rd grade students will receive $1580.00. Students in the 4th through 8th grades will be allotted $1780.00.

• Workshops: PACE periodically holds workshops at each of the PACE Learning Centers. Topics range from technology support and integration ideas to Native Alaska arts and crafts.
• Electronic Access: As a correspondence school, PACE relies heavily on electronic communication to keep in contact with students and parents. A portion of student funding can be applied to Internet connectivity in the form of a dial-up or broadband connection.
• Certified Staff: PACE employs Alaska certified educators who will work one-on-one with students and parents to create a Program of Study that will meet the specific needs of the child and the family.
• Learning Centers: PACE has offices and learning centers in three distinct locations throughout Alaska to serve the needs of our PACE families. These learning centers are staffed with certified teachers who are ready to answer questions, assist in the curriculum ordering and purchasing periods, and provide technology and learning support throughout the school year and in the summer months.
