Michigan House Bill 5912 requires HS's to notify annually.

Postby riccalo » Thu Mar 20, 2008 9:24 pm

I thought perhaps other home-schooling families from Michigan might want to see this and share their thoughts about it.

The following statement was taken from the Home School Legal Defense Association website (www.hslda.org).

"House Bill 5912: Requiring All Homeschoolers to Annually Notify Local Superintendent

Author:
Rep. Brenda Clack

Summary:
House Bill 5912 would require all homeschoolers to give the local superintendent the name and age of each child being homeschooled, the name of the school district where the parent resides, and the name and address of the parent every year.

Status:
3/19/2008 (House) Introduced, referred to the Committee on Education."

This has taken me by complete surprise.

we already have to do this in Mass, but that is about all we have to do. Sometimes they ask for more but not very often.

I also didn't reply because I'm not in Michigan.

I am in Ohio, and we are required to notify annually, with all the same info you listed for Michigan. We are also required to provide a brief outline of the intended curriculum and a list of textbooks to be used. At the end of the year, we have to have a Portfolio Assessment (written narrative showing satisfactory progress) or standardized testing scores.

The county I live in is very laid back about homeschooling. I'm very happy about that. It takes a lot of pressure off. I can't imagine what its like for people in areas with stricter rules and requirements.

Thank you all for replying to my post. :) I'm glad to see that it is getting some notice. I realize now that I should have worded my sentence better. I made it sound as if I only wanted to hear from fellow Michiganders, which isn't the case.

Still, I am a bit disappointed that no one from Michigan has replied yet but, perhaps they're busy calling our state legislators. ;)

My main reason for writing this post was to let others know what is going on in Michigan who hadn't already heard about it. The other reason is that I wanted to know how people felt about the Bill and if they planned to contact Brenda Clack or one of the co-sponsors of the Bill.

Michigan has been a very friendly home-school state since 1996 and I do not want to see that change. And now, it very well could. :(
