summary

This amendment, which is the majority report for the Joint Standing Committee on Education and Cultural Affairs, strikes and replaces the bill to change the compulsory school attendance laws to provide that a child who enrolls in a public day school before the child is 7 years of age is required to remain in attendance at a public day school or at an equivalent instruction alternative to attendance at a public day school unless the child's parent provides school officials with a written notice of intent to withdraw the child from school and a written assurance that the child will be enrolled in a school before the child reaches 7 years of age.
