Governor's veto message: SB 239 ensures that families moving from one school district to another register their children for school in a timely manner. Unfortunately, the language of a floor amendment seeking to safeguard homeschooling families instead accomplished the opposite; as written, the bill would actually require homeschooling families to enroll their children in a public or private school upon moving to a new school district. Because of this unintended consequence, I VETO SB 239. From http://gov.georgia.gov/00/press/detail/0,2668,78006749_160096907_160291947,00.html

| UT | Signed into law 03/2008 | P-12 | Establishes UPSTART, a pilot project that uses a home-based educational technology program to develop the school readiness skills of children age 4-5 who have not entered kindergarten. Provides that UPSTART is created to evaluate the effectiveness of giving preschool children access, at home, to online interactive individualized instruction to prepare them academically for success in school, and to test the feasibility of scaling an online home-based curriculum in reading, math and science to all preschool children in Utah.
Requires the state board of education to use an RFP process to select an education technology provider to deliver the home-based technology program. Provides standards that the home-based educational technology program must meet. Among these:
The contractor must:
--Provide technical support to families for the installation and operation of the instructional software
--Provide for the installation of computer and Internet access in the homes of low-income families that cannot afford the equipment and service
--Work in cooperation with school district personnel who will provide administrative and technical support for the program
--Solicit families to participate in the program
--In implementing the home-based educational technology program, seek the advice and expertise of early childhood education professionals in the Utah System of Higher Education on issues such as:
(i) soliciting families to participate in the program
(ii) providing training to families
(iii) motivating families to regularly use the instructional software.
In addition, the contractor must have the capability to perform specified tasks through the Internet. These include:
--Communicating with parents
--Storing research data
--Producing reports for parents, schools and the legislature
--The capability to quickly and efficiently modify, improve and support the product.
Provides the program must include:
--Computer-assisted, individualized instruction in reading, mathematics, and science
--A multisensory reading tutoring program
--A validated computer adaptive reading test that does not require the presence of trained adults to administer and is an accurate indicator of reading readiness of children who cannot read.
Provides that the contract must provide funding for a home-based educational technology program for preschool children for one year with an option to extend the contract for additional years or to expand the program to a greater number of preschool children, subject to legislative appropriation.
Provides a school district may participate in UPSTART if the local school board agrees to work in cooperation with the contractor to provide administrative and technical support for the pilot project. Provides a school district that participates in UPSTART will receive funding for paraprofessional and technical support staff, and must agree to adopt standardized policies and procedures in implementing the pilot project.
Requires the contractor to solicit families to participate in UPSTART through a public information campaign and referrals from participating school districts. Provides that at least 30% of participating children must be from low-income families, and that participating children must be from families with diverse ethnic backgrounds and reside in both urban and rural areas in different regions of the state. Requires the contractor to make the home-based educational technology program available to families at an agreed-upon cost if the number of families who would like to participate in UPSTART exceeds the number of participants funded by the legislative appropriation.
Directs the state auditor to either conduct an annual audit of the contractor's use of funds for UPSTART or contract with an independent certified public accountant to conduct an annual audit. Directs the state board of education to:
--Require by contract that the contractor will open its books and records relating to its expenditure of funds pursuant to the contract to the state auditor or the state auditor's designee
--Reimburse the state auditor for the actual and necessary costs of the audit
--Contract with an independent, qualified evaluator, selected through an RFP process, to evaluate the home-based educational technology program for preschool children.
Also directs the state board to make an annual report on UPSTART to the Education Interim Committee. Provides that the report must address the extent to which UPSTART is accomplishing the purposes for which it was established as set forth in statute, and must include:
--The number of families:
(i) volunteering to participate in the program
(ii) selected to participate in the program
(iii) requesting computers
(iv) furnished computers
--The frequency of use of the instructional software
--Obstacles encountered with software usage, hardware or providing technical assistance to families
--Student performance on pre-kindergarten and post-kindergarten assessments conducted by school districts and charter schools for participating and non-participating students
--As available, the evaluation of the program conducted pursuant to statute.

The State of Virginia passed legislation requiring schools to make the testing known to home-schooled students and to allow them to participate in the testing. H.B. 1844 requires a school district to permit a home-schooled student to participate in an administration of the PSAT/NMSQT or a college advanced placement test offered by the district. The bill also requires that notice be provided to home-schooled students about the dates on which the PSAT/NMSQT will be administered and which districts will be administering the testing.
