Book Description
Today, a parent's right to choose a private education for his or her children is reflected in the statutes of all 50 states. State regulation of private schools, however, is not without limitations. The challenge to state legislators in regulating private schools is to draft legislation that: (1) respects the fundamental right of parents to direct the education of their children; (2) protects the states' interest in an informed citizenry but avoids interference with religious beliefs unless compelling interests are at issue; and (3) avoids comprehensive regulation of private education that would deprive parents of any choice in education. This handbook presents findings of a study, initiated by the Office of Nonpublic Education, U.S. Department of Education, that conducted a state-by-state analysis of state laws regulating private education. The study, which includes all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia, identified the following general areas of regulation advanced by state legislators: recordkeeping and reports, licensing/registration/accreditation, health and safety, curriculum, and public funding. The data show that none of the states regulates private schools in the same way. The report contains comparison charts depicting state oversight of private schools, state-mandated educational requirements, and public assistance to private schools and private school children.

Fifty Educational Markets
Author: Christopher Hammons

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
There is a widespread misperception that private schools avoid government oversight or are "unregulated." In fact, private schools are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations that run the gamut from reasonable rules to ensure health and safety to unreasonable rules that interfere with school curricula, preventing schools from pursuing the educational approaches that work best for their students. Partly because the public is largely unaware of this body of regulations, it is not often subject to public scrutiny, and thus there is less incentive to reform unreasonable laws and regulations. This report analyzes the laws and regulations that govern private schools in all 50 states. It documents the extent to which private schools are regulated. A full list of the laws and regulations governing private schools in each state is available on the website of the Friedman Foundation. The degree of regulation varies considerably from state to state. This report also evaluates the laws and regulations in each state to measure the extent to which they allow a true educational marketplace to flourish. (Contains 10 endnotes, 3 tables, and 1 figure.).
