Homeschooling Opportunities for Military Education (HOME) Act; active military to provide notice and comply with state law relating to home schooled students; local school systems to provide equal access to JROTC programs, facilities, special education services to certain nonenrolled students, and interscholastic activities

SB 191, the Homeschooling Opportunities for Military Education (HOME) Act, requires active-duty military parents (with a "bona fide change in duty station" due to relocation orders) to notify their local school superintendent if homeschooling their children and comply with state homeschooling laws. The bill mandates that school systems provide these military homeschool students equal access to public school facilities, equipment, and special education services if they have disabilities, and must allow them to participate in interscholastic sports and activities within their district, subject to standard eligibility requirements. It specifically applies to children of military members whose relocation is ordered by the military, not all homeschoolers. The law aims to ensure military-connected students receive consistent educational opportunities during relocations.
