Legislative Update – HB2389 Heading to the Governor
On Monday, April 17, 2017, HB2389 passed the House 41-17 and is on its way to the Governor for signing. This is a huge win in the recognition battle for Arizona homeschoolers.
Legislative Action Alert – Support HB2389
AFHE recently shared information about an administrative win that would give homeschool students equal access to jobs through Arizona state agencies using their homeschool graduation credentials (parent-issued diploma and high school transcript) without being required to take the GED. HB2389 creates a statutory solution solidifying the administrative agreements to accept the graduation credentials of homeschooled students.
Defending Homeschool Graduation Credentials
AFHE has been hard at work defending homeschool graduation credentials with Arizona state agencies. Law-abiding, hard-working Arizona homeschool graduates deserve to have their homeschool diplomas and transcripts honored.
