HB 1483 Home instruction; requirements.
Introduced by: Robert Tata | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Requirements for home instruction of children. Amends the requirements for home instruction to provide that parents may home school their children if they: (i) provide a program of study or curriculum which, in the judgment of the division superintendent, includes the standards of learning objectives adopted by the Board of Education for language arts and mathematics, or (ii) provide evidence that the parent is able to provide an adequate education for the child. Currently, parents choosing to home school a child must provide the child a program of study or curriculum that includes the standards of learning objectives adopted by the Board of Education for language arts and mathematics. The bill further provides that a parent who elects to home school a child must provide the division superintendent with evidence that the child has attained a composite score in or above the fourth stanine of any nationally normed standardized achievement test rather than the current requirement that such child receive a score in or above the fourth stanine on a battery of achievement tests that have been approved by the Board of Education for use in the public schools.
