Overview
This resolution urges the federal government to waive the new $100,000 H-1B visa fees for teachers in Alaska. Alaska’s schools, particularly in rural areas, are struggling to find qualified educators, often relying on international teachers through the H-1B visa program. The recent increase in visa fees poses a significant financial challenge to schools and could lead to a shortage of teachers. The resolution aims to ensure Alaska can continue to attract and retain educators to support student success.
