AI Summary
This bill requires parents who plan to educate their children at home, a practice known as home-schooling, to notify their local school district by August 15th of each school year by sending a letter to the superintendent. The school district, referred to as the "resident school district" because it's where the child lives, will then be responsible for keeping a record of each home-schooled child within its boundaries, including their name, age, and address. This legislation is intended to provide school districts with a clear understanding of the number of children being home-schooled in their area.
