In the wake of the recent November elections, the landscape of New Hampshire's state legislature is looking significantly brighter for homeschoolers. Of particular significance to homeschoolers was the election of homeschool father and former CHENH president Jim Parison and strong homeschool advocate Jim Forsythe.

HSLDA has undertaken discussion with key legislators about what should be done.
