There is currently 1 active homeschool-related bill.
HB 350
Introduced on April 9, HB 350 would require the Delaware Department of Education to study allowing homeschool students to participate in extracurricular activities in public, charter and vo-tech schools in the district where they live. This would include making "findings and recommendations" related to homeschooler extracurricular participation, including:
-
Advisability of a pilot program
-
Feasibility of allowing extracurricular participation for homeschoolers (including if any extracurricular activities should not be available to homeschoolers)
-
Costs
-
Grade level distinctions related to extracurricular activities
-
Potential eligibility criteria
and to complete findings and recommendations by December 31, 2027.
​
This bill would not enable homeschoolers to access public school extracurricular activities; it would only study the possibility.
