JUNEAU, Alaska — An effort by the parents behind "Bree's Law" to adapt the state of Alaska's teen dating violence curriculum for nationwide use has hit a roadblock after the administration of Gov. Mike Dunleavy this month declined to grant a copyright release.
Butch and Cindy Moore are the parents of Breanna "Bree" Moore, their youngest daughter, who was murdered in 2014 by her boyfriend. The Moore family was unaware that their daughter was in a violent relationship before she was killed.
In 2018, after a yearslong lobbying effort, the Legislature approved funding to develop an Alaska curriculum, which the Moore family helped write with the state Department of Education and Early Development. The curriculum was finished and available for use in fall 2021, the Moores said.
