RELATING TO EDUCATION.

Establishes procedures for a parent or legal guardian to obtain authorization to home school a child. Requires the complex area superintendent or the complex area superintendent's authorized representative to request child welfare services to conduct a child abuse and neglect history inquiry and provide information to the department of education to conduct a background check before approving or denying a notification of intent to home school. Authorizes a parent or legal guardian to petition the family court if the notification of intent to home school is denied.
