Schools, Home - As introduced, eliminates various requirements for parents conducting a home school if the parent provides a normed curriculum to their child at home; prohibits this state from regulating, overseeing, or otherwise imposing requirements on a home school parent or student unless the home school parent or student is participating in a state program or applies for and receives state funds. - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 1152 eliminates most state requirements for parents homeschooling their children in Tennessee, directly affecting homeschooling parents and students. It removes the need for annual notice to school districts, prohibits state-mandated testing, and bans state regulation of homeschooling unless families join a state program or accept state funds. The bill requires only that parents provide a "normed curriculum" (a pre-approved educational plan) to their children, with no additional oversight or documentation demands from the state. Exceptions apply only if homeschoolers voluntarily participate in state programs with stricter requirements or receive state funding.
