BILL NUMBER:S185
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the education law, in relation to authorizing vocational
education and extension boards to permit students who receive home
instruction to participate in vocational education courses
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends section 1102 of the education law by adding a new
subdivision (16).
Section 2 provides for an effective date.
PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION:
Currently, New York State law states that home schooled students are
not entitled to participate in vocational education programs.
Students Parents/guardians are required to pay local school taxes yet
their children are not entitled to the basic benefits their school
districts provide. It is unfair to punish these students whose
parents have made a decision to be more actively involved in their
child's education. The goal of this legislation is to afford to home
schooled students the same opportunities as students who attend
public schools so that they may also have a well-rounded educational
experience.
