A legislative update from Springfield. HB 2827 passed the educational policy committee with some rigorous debate. It will move on to the House Floor for a vote with a possible amendment added. This week (March 31- April 4th) representatives will be in their district office and not in session on the floor. This is a perfect opportunity to schedule a meeting with your rep and ask them to oppose HB 2827. You can include personal stories of how this bill will potentially impact your family. We do not know when this bill will come to the floor for a vote. It could be as soon as April 7th. In the meantime also contact your senators and ask them to oppose HB 2827 if it reaches the senate. If your rep/senator already opposes thank them for their support for the homeschooling community.
