McGuire Introduces Bill to Simplify Homeschool Process
 
RICHMOND, VA – Today, Delegate John McGuire announced he is introducing legislation HB 1454 to make it easier for parents to homeschool their children. 

This legislation will streamline the notification process for parents who plan to homeschool their children under the Virginia home instruction statute. The bill does not affect the requirement for such a parent to annually provide a description of the home instruction curriculum before the school year begins and evidence of the child's academic progress after the school year ends. Homeschool students are doing very well academically.
“As Democrats continue their attempts to implement radical left ideologies in our schools, parents have a fundamental right to choose how their children are educated. It’s important that parents have options when it comes to educating their children. It is apparent, especially during the Pandemic, a "one size fits all" approach to educating our children does not work. Home schoolers do an incredible job and we should make it easier not harder to do so.

That is why I’m introducing legislation to simplify the homeschool process, allowing parents an easier path to homeschool their children as long as their children meet the necessary requirements set by the state.” - Delegate John McGuire, Candidate for Virginia Senate District 10

“This change will simplify the process, not only for parents, but also for superintendents and their staff. It will eliminate unnecessary paperwork, processing time, and the potential for misapplication of the law. It's the results that count, and studies show homeschool students are doing very well academically and socially. When students meet the academic standards set by the statute, homeschooling can continue. This is a reasonable change that will help everyone.” - Yvonne Bunn, Home Educators Association of Virginia (HEAV) Director of Government Affairs
