Victory in Springfield! The house adjourned late on May 31st. What does this mean for homeschoolers? HB2827 is officially dead. Take the summer and celebrate the victory in this battle. It is because of all the hard work homeschoolers have put in this spring semester. Calling our reps and senators, attending ICHE cherry pie day, attending the committee hearings, and meeting in person with our legislators helped stop this dangerous bill. Sit back with a glass of lemonade and enjoy the temporary reprieve. However this has showed us we can not take our homeschool freedoms for granted. Keep your eyes to Springfield in the future and be ready to make a stand when appropriate. We suspect the sponsors will be bringing back this bill in some form next year's legislative session.
