Home Schooling in the US: A Legal Analysis by Christopher J. Klicka Untangling the Red Tape: The details you need to know to homeschool in all 50 states Does attempting to sort through and understand homeschooling's legal history and requirements in the language of an attorney leave you tied up in knots? Do you need to test, notify, keep attendance records, or report? Does your notification go to your local school or the state department of education? Do 50 states really equal 50 different homeschooling laws? This book will untangle the legal red tape for you! Annually updated since 1985, this resource is a thorough analysis of the legal aspects of homeschooling in all 50 states and U.S. territories. Each jurisdiction has its own summary, which describes the pertinent laws, regulations, and major cases affecting home instruction in that area. Organized in outline form and written in layman's terms, this analysis is an excellent tool for support group leaders, lobbyists, researchers, and military families among others. Also included are a general overview of homeschooling in the U.S. and an appendix summarizing numerous studies and surveys which demonstrate homeschooled students' academic success. Up until his death October 12, 2009, Christopher J. Klicka served as senior counsel and director of state and international relations for the Home School Legal Defense Association. A graduate of Grove City College and Regent University School of Law, he was a member of the bars of the Virginia Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court. Chris began his legal and advocacy work on behalf of homeschooling families in 1985, and since then handled scores of cases and thousands of legal conflicts. He presented expert testimony before Congress and more than 10 state legislatures and drafted numerous homeschool regulations and statutes. A popular national speaker, Chris also wrote several books, including Home Schooling: The Right Choice, The Heart of Home Schooling, and Home School Heroes. Chris and his wife Tracy home educated all of their seven children.
