Bill > HB183

This bill allows home school students in Alabama to attend career and technical education (CTE) programs offered by public schools, starting with the 2027-2028 school year, provided they enroll as nontraditional students and pay any applicable course fees. CTE programs are defined as studies that combine academic, occupational, and life skills to prepare students for credentials, employment, or further education. Home school students are defined as those instructed by a private tutor or taught at home and enrolled in a private or church school. If a CTE program has limited spots, home school students will be considered for enrollment only after currently enrolled public school students. The State Board of Education will create rules to manage this, and local school boards must adopt policies to follow these rules. This bill does not force specialized, full-time CTE schools to accept home school students, but they may choose to do so.
