CONCORD, NH – By a vote of 174-166 The House of Representatives passed HB 1268  a controversial bill to significantly reduce state regulation of home schooling

The legislation would remove the requirement that parents have to notify school districts when they’ve decided to home-school their children.

According to several Lawmakers they believe the legislation would undo 30 years of collaboration to ensure students in home education have the same opportunities to thrive as those in public schools.

The bill heads to the state Senate.
