SF 148: Requiring a person who places a child of compulsory attendance age under independent private instruction or private instruction to file a report with the school district of residence if the governor proclaims a public health disaster emergency for the county

What it does

This bill requires, if the governor proclaims a state of public health disaster emergency in a county in which independent private or private instruction is provided, the parent, guardian, or legal custodian who places a child in independent private instruction or private instruction to submit the same report to the school district of residence that is required for a child placed in competent private instruction. The information must be furnished as soon as reasonably possible and must include the name and age of the child, the period of time during which the child has been or will be under private instruction for the year, an outline of the course of study, and the name and address of the instructor.
