What’s in it
This bill makes a voluntary reporting requirement relating to independent private instruction mandatory, and establishes a notice requirement for the parent, guardian, or legal custodian of a child who places the child under independent private instruction. Currently, the authority responsible for independent private instruction must submit a report relating to the instructors, instruction, and the children placed, to the superintendent of the school district in which the independent private instruction is provided or to the director of the department of education upon receiving a written request.
Read the full explanation
The bill requires that the report be provided to the superintendent by September 1, annually, and eliminates reference to the director. The bill also requires the child, and the parent, guardian, or legal custodian who intends to place the child under independent private instruction for the school year, to meet in person with the superintendent of the school district in which the child resides to provide notice of such intent by September 1, annually.
