AN A TO Z RESOURCE
Not intended as legal advice. For your information only. Law changed July 1, 2009. Maximum age for compulsory education now "under 18." Changes in notification regulations.
House bill (LSR 827) introduced to criminalize NH homeschoolers
January 24, 2011. Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) in Virginia drafted a bill to amend the NH home education law. Their bill, LSR 827, proposes to criminalize parents who "fail to educate" their children properly. Please call these bill co-sponsors and ask them to withdraw their support. Criminalizing homeschoolers is not a good idea. It would be a First-in-the-Nation black eye for the Live Free or Die state.
