HB 1109 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to home school protections

HB 1109 modifies home school regulations by defining "home school" and "Family Paced Education (FPE) school" with specific requirements. It requires parents to maintain records of instruction (including subject plans, student work samples, and progress evaluations) and provide at least 1,000 hours of instruction annually, with 600 hours in core academic subjects. The law exempts students aged 16+ from these record-keeping and hour requirements. Enforcement for home or FPE school compliance is limited to local prosecutors acting on probable cause, and a parent's daily log or written statement can defend against educational neglect claims. The bill does not apply to public school students or alter existing requirements for traditional private schools.
