Introduced by: Jay K. Katzen | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Home instruction requirements. Provides that persons providing home instruction must have a high school diploma; currently, a baccalaureate degree is required. In addition, the bill provides that a licensed teacher engaged by a parent authorized to home school his child or children may determine that a program of study or curriculum meets the requirements established by the Commonwealth for home instruction. The bill also provides that in addition to the battery of achievement tests approved by the Board of Education for evaluating the home schooled student's academic progress, the parent may offer the results of a battery of achievement tests approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, or an evaluation which, in the opinion of a licensed teacher engaged by the parent, indicates an adequate level of educational growth. Currently, this latter evaluation option is limited to evaluations assessed by the division superintendent.
