General Homeschooling: Legal Issues in the U.S. Home School Legal Defense Association: State Law Summaries Home Education Magazine's State Law Summary "The HEM staff has been considering pulling the state by state laws and regulations listings. The main reason is that as homeschooling becomes more widely accepted, and as states are scrambling to reform their education system, the situation becomes more complex. This makes overviews, listings and rankings less valid. We have, however, decided to keep these listings in place because they carry, at a minimum, a link to your state government. Additionally we hope reading cited code and at least one homeschooler's interpretation will help start to demystify legislation and encourage you to investigate further."
