Thanks to the law there is very little the school committee could do to prevent some one who wanted to home school. Legally they are more in a support and advisory role. It is settled law. What was unsettling was certain school committee members trying to pick a person's right apart to possibly score political points. Don't worry CHUCK, I ain't mentioning nobody's names.
Don't be mistaken no one person went witch hunting alone. DR. LATHAM was always trying to give ammo for his gun. JOHN FORD who proposed delegating the formal approval of such plans to DR. LATHAM after finally coming to the conclusion that the LSCC can do little about it anyway. In the past he had been one of CHUCK'S hunting partners.
There were other lawyers involved in this past scuffles. The one particular family that always seemed to be the object of scrutiny was represented by the HOME SCHOOL ASSOCIATION (I don't know the actual name of the group but you get the idea) who schooled them yearly on the relevant legal codes.
Hopefully this delegation means the problem will never again recurr or at least it means you won't see it.
THEY FOUGHT WITH THE LAW AND THE LAW WON.
