❌ HB145
Regards the minimum number of hours in a school year
Summary
The bill amends sections of the Revised Code to establish minimum instructional hours for nonchartered nonpublic schools and requires these schools to report enrollment and attendance to local education authorities. It mandates that teachers hold at least a bachelor's degree and outlines the subjects that must be included in the curriculum. Additionally, it specifies that nonchartered nonpublic schools are not entitled to pupil transportation or auxiliary services.
Rationale
The bill imposes government regulations on nonchartered nonpublic schools, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of minimal government interference in education and parental rights. Both the LP and LPO platforms advocate for parental control over education without government mandates, leading to a mixed alignment score.
Risks and Concerns
- Increases government control over education
- May limit parental rights in educational choices
- Imposes additional requirements on nonchartered schools
