AI Summary
This bill modifies Wyoming's existing home-based educational program regulations by removing the requirement for homeschooling parents to submit their curriculum to the local school board annually. Currently, parents administering a home-based educational program must demonstrate that their curriculum meets basic academic educational program standards. The bill changes the language from requiring parents to "submit" a curriculum to the local board to simply "ensuring" that a curriculum is administered to pupils in the program. Additionally, the bill eliminates a provision that previously stated that failure to submit a curriculum would be considered prima facie evidence of non-compliance with educational requirements. By making these changes, the bill reduces administrative burden on homeschooling families and provides them with more autonomy in managing their educational approach, while still maintaining the underlying requirement that home-based educational programs meet basic academic standards. The act is set to become effective on July 1, 2025.
