CHELD (Home School Legal Defense Memberships) California Home Educators Legal Defense (CHELD) offers home school legal defense memberships to families in California. CHELD helps homeschool families deal with contacts from both the local public school and the Department of Children Services. Administrative assistance is also given to the administrator of any Independent Study Program (ISP) or homeschool program which has CHELD members. Families with special needs children can also find support and assistance. Annual cost - $25.00 per family.
In re Rachel L - The California Appellate Court handed down a bad decision in this case. While this case could have negative implications for California homeschoolers, nothing has changed to your right to homeschool. This ruling will be held in suspense while appeals are filed or until the case is denied or heard by the California Supreme Court (possible 3 months to 5 years). There is no need to panic or make any changes to your current situation. Read more about the case.
Testing - Home school families desiring to have their student take an annual achievement test, may sign up to have their student tested at one of CHE’s Southern California testing locations.
Home Schooling and California Laws Home schooling is constitutional and legal in California when accomplished through one of the three following means. While home school groups may hold different perspectives on the law in California, the safest means for home schooling is through a public or private ISP.
