This bill mandates that parents or guardians who wish to home school their child must register the child in a home education program by submitting a letter to the superintendent of their resident school district by August 1 of each school year or within 14 days of starting the program. The letter must include the child's name, age, and the name of the program supervisor, along with a curriculum that aligns with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards.

To ensure educational progress, the supervisor is required to maintain a portfolio that includes records of the student's work and an annual evaluation by a qualified evaluator, who cannot be the student's parent or guardian. This portfolio must be submitted to the superintendent by June 30 each year. Additionally, the bill allows the superintendent to grant a State-endorsed diploma to students who meet the outlined requirements and demonstrate academic skills equivalent to a high school education.
