2:01 A bill that changes state laws around homeschooling is headed to the governor’s desk. It strips requirements that those students take standardized tests during certain grades, among other changes. Representatives from the governor’s office have testified in favor of the bill, referencing letters from families who wanted to move to South Dakota but didn’t after noting the state’s laws on homeschooling. The bill removes requirements that parents disclose the reason for enrolling their kid in “alternative instruction.” It removes the ability of the department of education to investigate whether instruction is being provided and the ability of the local school board to revoke a student’s excuse from school attendance.
