Arlington ISD is the basis for our right to homeschool in Texas . It establishes that homeschools are private schools. Private schools are not regulated in Texas , as our state constitution (Article 7 Sec 2) only authorizes the legislature to establish and maintain public schools, not private or parochial schools.

Texas Education Agency Home School Information Letter September 15, 2004 TO THE INDIVIDUAL ADDRESSED: The Texas Education Agency does not regulate, index, monitor, approve, or register the programs available to parents who choose to home school For most of this century, Texas has exempted children enrolled in a private or parochial school from compulsory school attendance. In the case of Leeper et al. v. Arlington ISD et al ., the Supreme Court of Texas affirmed a decision by District Judge Charles J. Murray holding that a school age child residing in Texas who is pursuing, under direct supervision of his/her parents, a curriculum designed to meet basic education goals is attending a private school within the meaning of Section 25.086(a)(1) of the Texas Education Code and is therefore exempt from compulsory school attendance. This case has a statewide application because school districts in the state and certain state officials were parties to the suit. A copy of the sections of the Texas Education Code related to compulsory attendance is attached. The State of Texas does not award a diploma to students that are home schooled . In the event a home-schooled student wishes to enter a public school, most districts have policies and procedures in place to assess the mastery level of courses that students in home schools have taken. The results of the assessment may be used for grade placement and/or award of credit.

THSC Association Store Convention Calendar and ... About Us : A home schooling history lesson A home school history lesson by Tim Lambert President of the Texas Home School Coalition Home education continues to grow by leaps and bounds not only in Texas, but also all over the country. Many estimate that the number of home schooling families is increasing by 15 percent per year. Nationally, some put the number of home educators at around one million. In Texas, there are between 75,000 and 100,000 families home educating. As more and more people make the ultimate choice in education, the advocates for this educational alternative multiply. As we become aware of the background of this movement from a national and state perspective, we are better able to defend this precious freedom. Some say that if we do not learn from our history we are doomed to repeat it. National Background In colonial America, home education was the norm, and the literacy rate was around 98 percent. Our founding fathers had a strong conviction that children should be able to read for the very important reason of reading the Bible for the spiritual benefits and truth it contained. Sometimes parents would join together to hire a teacher to teach their children subjects in which they did not feel qualified. Later, education developed into religious training as many of the universities in the Ivy League were established to train ministers. The entrance requirements often included being able to read and translate Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. Eventually, communities and states began to establish schools supported by government funds; however, these schools continued to have a very distinctive religious flavor as evidenced by the use of the New England Primer which was so popular at that time. In fact, the Catholic parochial school movement began in this country as a response to what Catholics perceived as the overt Protestant nature of the public schools.

SCHOOL VOUCHERS November 27, 1998 Betty Ann Bowser takes a look at school vouchers in Texas, followed by a discussion on this controversial topic led by Phil Ponce. BETTY ANN BOWSER: At 7 o'clock each weekday morning Lydia Chandler takes her three boys to school. What's different this year, though, is that Chandler is taking her kids to a private school that costs $1500 per child, and she's not having to pay a penny for tuition. LYDIA CHANDLER: I've always wanted my children to go to private school but my funds were limited, so I had no choice but to put them in public. BETTY ANN BOWSER: Chandler can put the kids in private school because of a voucher program offered to every child in the low-performing Edgewood Public School District where she lives in San Antonio, Texas. TEACHER: Latitude lines, which ones are they? Yvette. BETTY ANN BOWSER: It's the first time a private organization has offered millions of dollars in vouchers to an entire school district. Money for the project is coming from the Children's Educational Opportunity Foundation, also called CEO. Forty-five million of the fifty million dollar program is being bankrolled by a conservative San Antonio philanthropist named Dr. James Leininger, who's part of a growing national movement supporting school choice through vouchers. DR. JAMES LEININGER, Children's Educational Opportunity: My desire, and the only reason that I'm involved with this is that every student in America would have the same educational opportunity as my children. I can afford to send my children to a private school, if I think that's what's best - any place they need to go. And I think that every child in America ought to have that same opportunity, not just be trapped into one school because they're poor.

Culture Government Religion Society JUNE 3, 2002 SUPREME COURT A guide to covering Cleveland school voucher case here Issues at stake Several major issues were at stake in the decision, which was among the most contentious of all of the Supreme Court's cases this term. Among the areas this decision will touch are: Education : The ruling will impact the discussion of funding for public schools, which was a contentious issue during the 2000 campaign. Proponents of vouchers argue that the government should spend its money in the most productive educational environments regardless of religious affiliation; opponents argue that government funds should remain in public, secular school settings. Church-State Separation : Strict church-state separationists oppose all school voucher programs because they feel that such programs give students incentives to attend religious schools, in violation of the establishment clause of the Constitution. Supporters of vouchers counter that the programs provide students with a wider range of choicesincluding both religious and secular schoolsso that they can receive the best education possible. Faith-Based Initiative : The Court's ruling will likely impact the larger debate about President Bush's faith-based initiative , in that whether government money is allowed to fund religious education may fuel the arguments of either those who do not want government grants to fund faith-based organizations, or those who do.

'We have no place to go'' Private schools looking for membership in UIL By Bradley Wilson Former Managing Editor Chapter 1. Subchapter A. Section 1. It's the very first thing in the Constitution and Contest Rules, But if some private school officials and legislators have their way, the UIL membership may soon be open to at least a few private schools. House Bill 220 , introduced by Representative Joe Nixon (R-Houston) for the upcoming 76 th Why the need? Private school officials such as Steve Koch, athletic director at Dallas' Jesuit College Prep School, maintain that their primary reason for wanting to join is the excessive travel time required to find schools against whom they can compete. He cited an example of when students at his school did compete against public school students in water polo, not a UIL sport. Academic and music programs will also be affected even though the rules governing academic and music programs are less stringent. In fact, Philip Postell of Dallas Jesuit High School said he anticipates only about four private schools, all large, all boys schools even wanting to consider membership. The rules Specifically, representatives of the private schools said most smaller private schools could not afford to comply with the rules regarding all coaches to be full-time employees of the school.
