State Board of Education's vote on homeschooling regulations approaches, several local homeschool leaders and HSLDA Staff Attorney Mike Donnelly have written a joint letter requesting specific changes to the proposed regulations. The SBOE and Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) need to know that you support these changes being made before the vote on June 18.
