Proposed homeschooling registration sparks protests

Homeschool families in Michigan say they’re worried about a proposed requirement to register all school-aged children with their local school district or public agency.

However, most homeschool families want the current system to remain with no mandatory registration, advocates say.

Currently in Michigan and 10 other states, it is optional for homeschooling parents to notify their local school district or other agency about what their children are learning.
