ED 315

Changes to the Homeschooling Rules

The homeschooling rules, ED 315, are updated when changes have been made in the law, RSA 193-A. The Department of Education has proposed updated rules which include many changes. Some homeschoolers have expressed the opinion that this version of the rules imposes requirements that go beyond those asked of us in the law.
The initial rules changes went through the Home Education Advisory Council (HEAC) and were simple changes made to keep the rules in line with the current law. After the rules went through the HEAC, they went to the Department of Education for further work.
You can read a side by side comparison of both versions of the rules here:

We encourage homeschoolers to study the proposed changes and make their views known at the hearing Wednesday, January 13, 2010 11:00 a.m. at the New Hampshire Department of Education building (Londergan Hall), 101 Pleasant Street, Concord, NH. The deadline for written comment has been extended to January 27, 2010.
