What is in the LEAH regulations manual?
A. Regulation of home education in New York State falls under the jurisdiction of the State Education Department, the Commissioner of Education, and the Board of Regents. In 1988 the Commissioner’s Regulations were amended with section 100.10 (FAQ) after a series of court battles contesting the legality of home education. These regulations are a compromise at best, but have been beneficial in keeping legitimate home educating parents out of court.
