An update to HSLDA Members and Friends on the California Court of 
Appeal Decision on Homeschooling:

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell comes to the 
defense of homeschool families. "The California Department of 
Education policy will not change in any way as a result of this 
ruling. Parents still have the right to homeschool in this state," he 
said.

After the Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District in Los 
Angeles ruled on February 28 that parents had to be credentialed 
teachers to educate their own children the statement from O'Connell is 
encouraging news for the homeschool community.

"O'Connell has it right," said Michael Farris, Chairman of HSLDA. "But 
the court decision must still be overturned before homeschool freedom 
can be restored in California."
