Alaska lawmakers seek to exempt schools from $100K H-1B visa fee threatening teacher hiring.
Senator Lisa Murkowski has introduced legislation to exempt Alaska’s public schools from a $100,000 H-1B visa fee imposed in 2025, warning the cost threatens rural and remote school staffing.
Over half of Alaska’s school districts rely on international teachers, many from the Philippines, to fill critical shortages, especially in areas with limited local applicants.
Education leaders say the fee makes hiring overseas educators financially unfeasible, risking school operations and student learning.
The bill seeks to remove the fee for K-12 schools to maintain access to qualified teachers and stable class sizes.
