Summary

The law replaces Connecticut’s old compulsory‑attendance rule, letting parents choose public school, an accredited nonpublic school, or home‑based “equivalent instruction” for kids aged five to seventeen. It adds paperwork – intent‑to‑educate forms, option forms for delaying school entry, and withdrawal attestations – that parents must file with the local school district. The change aims to give families more flexibility while keeping the state informed about where children are being taught.
