Prohibiting the home schooling of children in certain circumstances

Summary

The bill prevents county boards from authorizing home instruction for any public‑school student if a child abuse or neglect investigation involving the child’s custodial parent or a school‑staff‑initiated report is underway. It also requires the county superintendent to adopt a policy with the state board to verify investigation status and to allow home instruction only after the complaint is found unsubstantiated within seven days. The measure aims to keep children visible and safe during such investigations.
