From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ========================= June 20, 2008 Review by Ohio Department of Education Dear HSLDA Members and Friends, HSLDA recently learned that the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) intends to review the home education rules in the Ohio Administrative Code Section 3301-34. It appears that these rules are up for the regular five-year legislative review process. The ODE plans to send an email notice to stakeholders and post a notice on the home education webpage. The ODE is indicating that it will post an invitation to comment by the second week in July, requesting that comments, feedback, and suggestions be submitted by the end of July. HSLDA's position is that there is no need for any changes at this time. We are asking comments to the ODE expressing their opinions regarding the rules and the need for changes. As we have learned this year in a number of states where there have been legislative battles over homeschool regulations, homeschoolers can be very successful when they work together to influence policymakers. We appreciate your membership and your work to preserve homeschool freedoms. We will continue to monitor this process and keep you informed. We hope you have a pleasant summer, and as you prepare to submit your notification paperwork to your superintendents, we stand ready to assist our members with any issues that may arise. Thank you for your support and all you do to preserve homeschooling freedom in the Sincerely, Michael P. Donnelly, Esq. HSLDA Staff Attorney |
