California Appeals Court Upholds Parents Need Not be Credentialed to Homeschool Children
August 9, 2008
“A three-judge panel overturned a lower-court order in
February that had created an uproar among homeschooling parents when it
required the credentialing.” A California appeals court this morning affirmed the right of parents
who don’t have a teaching credential to educate their children at home.
According to a Mercury News report, a three-judge panel overturned a
lower-court order that required homeschool parents be credentialed and
ruled that individual parents, like private schools, are exempt from
the requirement that those who teach children be credentialed by the
state.
“It is a very good decision and definitely a victory for
homeschooling families in the state,” said Damien Schiff of the Pacific
Legal Foundation in Sacramento, which had filed a friend-of-the-court
brief on behalf of a Sacramento couple who teach their 7-year-old at
home.
