What Changed
Every correction and update to our compliance data, documented publicly. We believe transparency about what we got wrong is as important as getting it right.
March 2026
Updated Louisiana home study application link
Louisiana DOE moved their home study application portal to a new EdLink-based system. Updated the form URL to point to the new portal so families can reach the online application.
Louisiana DOE →Updated Maryland regulation links to new state site
Maryland migrated its COMAR regulations from dsd.maryland.gov to regs.maryland.gov in December 2025. Updated all COMAR citation links (13A.10.01 and 13A.09.09 sections) to point to the new official state regulatory platform.
COMAR 13A.10.01; COMAR 13A.09.09 →Improved Arizona Notice of Intent template
The NOI template now includes the child's date of birth and instruction address, both required by A.R.S. 15-802. Also added a reminder about A.R.S. 15-828, which requires providing a certified copy of the child's birth certificate (or other proof of identity) to the county school superintendent within 30 days of starting home instruction.
A.R.S. 15-802(B)(2); A.R.S. 15-828(B) →Corrected Maryland withdrawal notice requirement
Previously stated no waiting period for withdrawal. Maryland regulation COMAR 13A.10.01.01(B) actually requires at least 15 days advance notice before beginning a home instruction program.
Corrected Utah Fits All Scholarship amounts for homeschoolers
Previously showed a flat $8,000/student. The scholarship is actually tiered: $4,000/year for home-based students ages 5-11, $6,000/year for ages 12-18, and $8,000/year for private school students. Also added under-19 age cap, residency verification requirement, portfolio/assessment deadline (May 31), extracurricular expense cap (20%), and multi-child household provisions. Based on HB 467 (signed March 19, 2026, effective May 6, 2026).
HB 467 enrolled text →Updated Carson Smith Opportunity Scholarship for SB 54 changes
Statute recodified from 53F-4-302 to 53E-7-402. Income-based eligibility removed (now available to all qualifying-disability students regardless of income). Sibling eligibility removed; each child must independently qualify. Expense categories aligned with Utah Fits All program with 20% extracurricular/PE caps. Amount simplified to weighted pupil unit x 2.5 for K-12 students.
SB 54 enrolled text →Added Option 3: Learning Pods and Microschools pathway
West Virginia has had a third home education pathway since 2022 (SB268) that was missing from our data. Learning pods (parent-organized groups) and microschools (teacher/entity-operated, tuition-charging) have the same assessment requirements as Option 2 but no 180-day instructional minimum and allow non-parent instructors. Includes diploma authority (HB4945, 2024) and extracurricular access (HB2820, 2023).
W.Va. Code 18-8-1(n) →Fixed broken Wisconsin homeschool filing link
The PI-1206 online filing URL was returning a 404 after the Wisconsin DPI reorganized their website. Updated to the correct HOMER filing system URL.
Wisconsin DPI →Added Homeschool Freedom Act codification reference
HB 2674 (signed June 2025) codified the prohibition on state regulation of homeschool programs as Tex. Educ. Code 1.010. This does not change family requirements but adds a statutory protection that was previously based only on case law (Leeper v. Arlington ISD, 1994).
HB 2674 enrolled text →How corrections work
When we discover an error, through our own verification, monitoring, or a report from a user, we follow a standard process:
- Verify the error against the primary legal source (statute text, DOE page, court opinion)
- Correct the data and update the affected state page
- Record the correction here with the source that backs it
- If the error affected compliance guidance, note what families should know
