GHEA mobilizes the Georgia homeschool community to visit the Georgia Capitol in Atlanta during the legislative session for a full day of fun and educational activities.
Homeschool families are encouraged to meet with their legislators to thank them and their staff for the important work they do. GHEA provides educational activities such as classes, tours, speakers, and more.
At our Albany Day on Monday, March 11, we'll be focusing on the Letter of Substantial Equivalence Bill, which is good timing considering the flurry of activity around this bill toward the end of last week! We'll have Houghton speaking mid-day (kind of a lunch-and-learn) about college in general, admissions, dual enrollment, etc. And, we'll have TeenPact first thing in the morning, briefly outlining their program. The meeting schedule is still coming together, and we'll be visiting the offices of key committee members as we seek to advance this bill. Plus, if there are follow-up meetings for the Sports Bill, we'll have those, too!
The goal of Capitol Day is to provide information about private home education to our California state legislators and their staff in a friendly, professional manner. This also allows legislators and their staff the opportunity to visit with real homeschool families. Capitol Day volunteers will visit each of the 120 legislators’ Capitol offices, providing each office with an information packet about private homeschooling. These packets help explain private home education as well as provide research showing that privately home-educated children do very well compared with students from the public schools.
A hand-on experience in Texas government like no others. Students and families come to learn about government, lobby real legislation, and make a difference. Attend one or all three dates!
