We're taking a trip to Des Moines on Wednesday to participate in Homeschool Day at the Capital, so I thought I should probably figure out what's going on with homeschooling legislation. The NICHE Website has an informative page devoted to current legislation: https://www.homeschooliowa.org/resources/spotlightialegislature.html. Here's a quick summary:
HF 116 and HF 275 - Compulsory School Attendance: Would raise the compulsory school attendance age from 16 to 18.
HF 160 and SF 146 - Driver's Education: Would allow a parent or legal guardian to provide driver's education.
HSB 147 - Independent Private Instruction: This is the bill that provides Iowans the right to homeschool.
If you're passionate about any of these issues, use this site to find the contact information for your legislators and tell them what you think! Isaac and I will be sending our emails today.
