Smooth sailing for new law

The new homeschool law passed by the legislature last session has helped produce one of the smoothest homeschool years on record in Maine. This new law was the result of Homeschoolers of Maine, Home School Legal Defense Association, and many other homeschoolers working together to draft language, attend hearings, and make hundreds of phone calls. By reducing needless red tape, the new law eliminated many of the sources of friction that had marred previous years.

When HSLDA Attorney Scott Woodruff asked state department of education representative Buzz Kastuck how things were going with the new law, his reply was short and sweet: "Everything seems OK."
