This bill has been amended by a substitute bill approved by the full Senate on March 14, 2012. As presently drafted, it would change the location for filing a declaration of intent and attendance records for a home study program from the local superintendent of schools to the Department of Education. Additionally, attendance records would be filed annually instead of monthly under current law. It also states that the Department of Education may provide for the electronic submittal of documents.
This bill should be supported.
