Rest Stop: State Laws

Currently in Progress!

Check for links below.

*****

Because the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution does not allow the federal government to set educational policy, each state rightfully determines its own laws in regards to homeschool education. We have endeavored here to offer informational articles explaining each state's home-education statutes, each one written by an experienced, veteran homeschooler in that state. Each article contains a link to the actual homeschool statute for the state and a summary of the author's understanding of that law in practice.

In addition to the articles, we have partnered with The Homeschool Loft, which is working on a series of podcast episodes about each state's homeschool law. In some cases, the article author and podcast guest are the same for a particular state; in other cases, they are different. As with the article authors, the podcast guests are experienced, veteran homeschoolers.

Whether in article- or podcast-format, keep in mind that these explanations are provided from a grassroots perspective and are not offered as legal advice. To read or listen to the information of interest, simply click the appropriate link below.
