Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to recognize students who have completed secondary school education in a home school setting as high school graduates, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Home School Graduation Recognition Act," amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to ensure that students who complete their secondary education through homeschooling are officially recognized as high school graduates. Specifically, it changes a section of the law that previously focused on individuals who were not high school graduates to now include "non-traditional settings," and it explicitly defines a high school graduate for the purposes of federal education programs to include any student who has finished their secondary education in a home school setting that is legally recognized as a home school or private school by their state. This change aims to provide clarity and ensure that homeschooled students are treated equally to those who graduate from traditional public or private schools when seeking higher education opportunities.
