The ROE then told the family that they had to provide the district with (1) proof that instruction commensurate with the public school is being provided, (2) documentation of subjects taught, (3) an annual calendar and daily schedule, and (4) proof that the child’s level of academic achievement is comparable to that of the child’s peers.

On January 1, 2008, SB 777 became law in California. SB 777 deals primarily with what constitutes discrimination against homosexuals in schools. Many questions have been asked about the impact of SB 777, what it has changed, and whether or not it affects private schools, including private home schools. SB 777 changed numerous sections in the Education Code. The most significant changes to four sections in the Education Code are explained in a new detailed analysis, which has been prepared by Private and Home Educators of California in conjunction with attorneys at Home School Legal Defense Association.
This new analysis attempts to answer many of the questions that have been asked about SB 777. We recommend that you read our paper, SB 777 - Private Schools & Private Home Schools (October 17, 2007) before reading this new analysis. Both our first paper, SB 777 - Private Schools & Private Home Schools, and this new analysis, SB 777 - An Analysis, are available either at www.pheofca.org, or www.hslda.org/hs/state/CA.
