Bill > HB1155

This bill modifies the composition and duties of the Home Education Advisory Council, a group that advises on home education matters. It expands the council's membership to include the Commissioner of the Department of Education or their designee as a non-voting member, and clarifies that representatives from the New Hampshire School Administrators Association, New Hampshire School Boards Association, New Hampshire Association of School Principals, and the nonpublic school advisory council will also serve as non-voting members. The bill also specifies that members appointed by the commissioner will serve three-year terms and outlines the council's responsibilities, which include meeting quarterly to foster understanding of home education, maintaining minutes in compliance with public meeting laws (RSA 91-A), developing communication between home educators and schools, recommending rule changes to the commissioner and state board of education, and establishing a grievance committee. Additionally, the council will now be required to file an annual report detailing its activities and any legislative or rule-making concerns with various state education officials and committees.
