====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== Success in 2011! Dear HSLDA Members and Friends: For close to 30 years HSLDA has advocated for the right of parents to homeschool their children across the nation and internationally. Even though Texas has one of the best homeschool laws in the country, HSLDA has been busy defending Texas homeschoolers against truancy cases, CPS investigations, and school district issues this past year. Here are just a few of the Texas situations we've helped out with during 2011: > HSLDA successfully fought a truancy case filed by an Austin School District. > When Child Protective Services in Magnolia, Texas, demanded to interview six homeschooled children privately, we got the CPS investigation dismissed without the children having to be interrogated. > An Alice, Texas, school district refused to let a high school student withdraw to homeschool, and her mother was summoned to court. Our local counsel, Tom Sanders, is actively working on her behalf, and we expect the charges to be dismissed next week. > A homeschooling family in Devine, Texas, faced a CPS investigation based on a slanderous anonymous tip. HSLDA was able to get the family exonerated and the allegation was found to be false. > HSLDA contacted the Texas attorney general on behalf of a mother who was receiving child support payments for her homeschooled son. We emphasized that as a homeschooled student, he qualified for child support payments. HSLDA has defended numerous homeschooled students against discrimination and helped them to retain their child support finances, Social Security benefits, and veteran's benefits until their graduation from high school. Our work in Texas is vital to our mission--the freedom of homeschooling everywhere. We greatly value you and your support--it is a privilege to serve you!
