Alaska Lawmakers Override Governor's Veto of School Devices Bill

The Alaska House of Representatives voted Monday to override Gov. Mike Dunleavy's (R) veto of a bill that included a wireless device policy for students. The bill, HB-57, included a provision requiring school districts to adopt a policy regulating students' use of personal wireless devices during school hours. In a Facebook video, Dunleavy said he vetoed the bill because it didn't contain policies that he supported regarding "reading, charter schools, and neighborhood schools."
