Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a child between the ages of 6 and 18 must attend a public
or private school regularly.
Instruction in a home-based private educational program may be substituted
for attendance at a public or private school.
This bill provides that instruction in a home-based private educational
program may not be substituted for attendance at a public or private school if the
child is found to be in need of protection or services because he or she is habitually
truant or a dropout or if the child violates a municipal ordinance prohibiting habitual
truancy or dropping out of school.
