church-related schools here, or other

Legislative
and other alerts
 Changes to the homeschooling code have been passed.
The highlights include the codification of the
Jeter Memo, no more baccalaureate degree requirement, elimination of
a hard deadline for registering, parents can now 'conduct' homeschooling
instead of doing it all themselves, no more declaring college or general
track. Check
http://TnHomeEd.com/49-6-3050.html for the current code. Check
http://TnHomeEd.com/49-6-3050-Compare.html for a comparison of the
old vs. the new code. We'll be updating the non-lawyer explanations of
the various options in the near future. Thank you for your patience.
Also added to the educational option mix was
virtual schooling. While this is
public schooling at home and not legally 'home schooling' we're happy to
provide a clue to parents considering this option. We'll have more
complete information up after we get the homeschooling pages up to date.
In the meantime,
here's the law. To date we only know of
K12 having a presence in
Tennessee thanks to the Union County School District. Further it's only
K-8th grade.
