The following is provided to indicate the Legal Requirements for Home Schools in Texas. This is not to be construed as legal advice or counseling. SCCHE urges members to affiliate with the Home School Legal Defense Association prior to embarking on the journey of home education and to utilize the resources of HSLDA for any legal advice or situations that may arise.

There are no specific laws concerning Home Schools Alternative Statutes Allowing for Home Schools Since this law does not specifically mention home schooling, the Texas Education Agency announced that home schooling was illegal in 1985. After over 80 innocent home school families were criminally prosecuted for truancy, HSLDA joined with other home school plaintiffs to file a class action suit against every school district in Texas (over 1,000). The class action suit, Leeper v. Arlington Indep. School Dist., No. 17-88761-85 Tarrant County 17th Judicial Ct. Apr. 13, 1987), resulted in a trial level decision in favor of home schooling.

PRESS RELEASE EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE UNTIL, 11 a.m., CST Wednesday, April 22, 1998 School Choice for an Entire District! $50 Million Horizon Project a Model for the Nation San Antonio, TX - An historic educational choice project announced today in San Antonio will enable, for the first time ever, thousands of families in an entire school district to exercise choice of schools. CEO Horizon, a project of the Children's Educational Opportunity Foundation of America (CEO AMERICA) , CEO San Antonio (a local, privately funded voucher program), and San Antonio business leaders, is reaching out to the 14,000 'at-risk' students of the San Antonio Edgewood School District, by offering full tuition scholarships to transfer to any school their parents choose. The program will begin with the Fall semester of this year and continue for at least 10 years, with a minimum commitment of $5 million per year. In addition to the immediate impact it will have on the local community, it offers the best model to date as to what a publicly funded voucher program will be able to achieve. As a result of the program, researchers will be assessing the implications and impact upon student performance as well as the impact upon quality and availability of public and private education options. CEO AMERICA president Fritz Steiger said the magnitude of the program will touch many lives in a positive manner: "We are reaching out to the most "at-risk" children and offering a long term commitment to improve their educational opportunities. Our efforts are aimed at helping the entire Edgewood community and being a catalyst to improve educational quality for every child in every school."

Office of the Attorney General - State of Texas John Cornyn August 10, 1999 The Honorable Bill Ratliff Chair, Finance Committee Texas State Senate P.O. Box 12068 Austin, Texas 78711 Opinion No. JC-0091 Re: Whether legislature constitutionally may exclude home schools from voucher system for private and parochial schools ( RQ-0023 Dear Senator Ratliff: You ask whether the legislature constitutionally may exclude home schools from a voucher system for private and parochial schools. Because you ask in particular about the effect of the Texas Supreme Court's decision in Texas Education Agency v Leeper , 893 S.W.2d 432 (Tex. 1994), we address the constitutional provision raised by the court of appeals in that case: the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Equal Protection Clause prohibits a state from denying "to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." U.S. Const. amend. XIV, § 1. But it does not prohibit states from treating different classes of people in different ways. Rather, it prohibits laws that treat different classes differently on the basis of criteria unrelated to the objectives of the statute. See Plyler v Doe , 457 U.S. 202, 216 (1982). "In applying the Equal Protection Clause to most forms of state action," the United States Supreme Court has said, "we thus seek only the assurance that the classification at issue bears some fair relationship to a legitimate public purpose."

The Texas High School Coaches Association With over 15,000 members, it is the largest organization of its type in the world The Texas High School Coaches Association was formally organized on November 28, 1930, when twenty-eight high school coaches gathered to approve and adopt the Constitution and Bylaws for the Association. The Coaches Association began because the coaches of Texas found a need for some organization whereby they could come together and learn new techniques in coaching. It was through their efforts that the Texas High School Coaches Association was launched and exists today and the the follow-ing objectives of the associa-tion were formed: The THSCA affords coaches a professional organization that permits them to get to know each other when the pressure of intense competition is not upon them. Not only is it promoting a better understanding among coaches themselves, but also with the University Interscholastic League (UIL) and with school administrators. The THSCA also presents an organized effort to solve the many extra problems, particularly those pertaining to legislation as it affects the athletic programs.

Attitudes Toward Information Technology at Two Parochial Schools in North Texas Technical Report 97.2 Texas Center for Educational Technology Telecommunications and Informatics Laboratory Lab Director: Gerald Knezek Research Associate: Rhonda Christensen October 23, 1997 Introduction This report compares attitudes toward information technology of students and teachers at two parochial schools in North Texas. One school is located in Dallas, while the other is in Tyler. The Dallas school is all female while the Tyler school is coeducational. Both offer high school diplomas to students who have completed grade 12. Teachers and students at the Dallas site completed questionnaires in May 1996 and again in May 1997. Students and teachers at the Tyler school completed questionnaires in May 1997. Teachers completed the Teacher's Attitudes Toward Computers Questionnaire ( TAC ) and the Teacher's Attitudes Toward Information Technology Questionnaire ( TAT ). Students completed the Computer Attitude Questionnaire ( CAQ ) with the Electronic Mail subscale from the TAC and the additional attitudes toward school items attached. Student findings are reported in the first portion of the report, while teacher findings are addressed in the later portion.

E M A I L Van Cleave nears mark October 6, 1999 Through last Saturday's game, a disappointing 20-14 loss to UIL 3A Fort Worth Carter-Riverside, Van Cleave has thrown for 1,604 yards so far this season and 4,893 for his career. Kubiak threw for 6,190 yards during his four-year career (1975-78) at Houston's St. Pius X. Kubiak held Texas' all-time career passing record until future Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer ended his career at San Antonio's Southwest High School with 8,005 yards from 1983-86. In his team's next game, a non-district affair Friday night against winless SPC Independent Episcopal School of Dallas, Van Cleave will likely pass former Dallas St. Mark's School of Texas QB John Robertson to move into the No. 2 spot among Texas private and parochial high school passers. Robertson tossed for 5,004 yards in three years for the Lions from 1982-84. Van Cleave, however, has moved into the No. 11 spot in all of Texas high school football for career touchdown passes with 67. Van Cleave needs six to surpass Kubiak as the all-time private and parochial school leader while Texas' career leader is former Tenaha QB Chavis McCollister, who torched defenses for 94 TD passes from 1996 to 1998. Van Cleave has indicated Ohio State and a host of schools in Louisiana and Texas remain at the front of his list for prospective colleges.

N E W S B L U E C H I P S H I G H S C H O O L C O L L E G E ... E M A I L Senate bill 266 set March 8, 1999 - The Senate Education Committee will debate in Austin on Wednesday the controversial Senate Bill that may change the foundation for Texas high school athletics - and open the door for private and parochial schools to compete for the Texas Bowls with UIL-member schools. Senate Bill 266, which Texas Football's web site first told you about on January 20, will be formally presented before the Senate Education Committee by Senator Ken Armbrister of Victoria. Senate Bill 266, which would allow any private high school the right to participate in the UIL if they followed UIL rules, is a bill supported strongly by the two Jesuit high schools in Texas: Jesuit College Prep in Dallas and Houston Strake Jesuit. During the bill's presentation, both parties (those for and against) will be allowed suitable time to discuss the issues for and against the bill. In the corner of the two Jesuit schools is the fact that no similar bill has ever made it to the committee floor. If the bill passes, it will then be sent to be addressed in a similar fashion by the entire Texas Senate. According to Dallas Jesuit coach Bob Wunderlick, the nine-member Senate Education Committee believes that the bill makes sense enough to be addressed. Wunderlick said the Committee tried to bypass the bill and see if the UIL would let the four TCIL schools, of which the two Jesuit schools are a part of, in under a five- or ten-year trial period; however, the UIL said no.
