MEMORANDUM

Posted:	February 20, 2013 02:07 PM
From:	Representative Mark M. Gillen
To:	All House members
Subject:	Homeschool Portfolio Evaluations

In the future, I will be introducing legislation to amend the evaluation process for homeschoolers’ academic completion. This is a reintroduction of Rep. Todd Rock’s House Bill 2317 of last year. This legislation is designed to provide oversight for the approval of homeschoolers’ education portfolios while easing the burden on both the superintendent and the family. Under the changes, the state approved evaluator who already has authorization to certify that an appropriate education is taking place will be able to provide that certification to the superintendent. This eliminates the duplication while ensuring that adequate review is taking place. Please join me in cosponsoring this important piece of legislation. If you have questions, please contact Michelle Clabaugh in my office at mclabaug@pahousegop.com or 787-8550.
