REVISED
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27404C1 / S1239
This bill encourages parents to be involved in their elementary child's education and partner with public
school teachers. If an elementary school student can get one year ahead in their academic studies, the parents
can negotiate a flexible attendance schedule to supplement the public school curriculum and for other family
activities. The bill has a mechanism so schools will not lose funding, how to determine if the child is advanced,
and makes the program optional to parents and schools.
FISCAL NOTE
There is not a fiscal cost to the education budget or to school districts.
