HEAC Reviews Ed 315 Proposal
The Home Education Advisory Council next meets on April 23 at 3:00pm. The meeting link will be posted as soon as it is available.
In fall 2018, the Commissioner of Education directed HEAC to review Ed 315 (scroll about half-way down the page), the rules that govern home education. The rules are intended to help clarify home education law, RSA 193-A, and cannot exceed it. In the Commissioner’s view, existing rules are too specific and need to be trimmed to reflect current statute, that the council needs to review the rules with a holistic view.
HEAC worked throughout last year to prepare a proposal which was presented to the Department of Education last June. This September, the DOE asked the council to clean up the rules further, to start from the beginning with a fresh approach, and work with the department’s rules administrator, Amanda Phelps, on the draft.
