25EXPLANATION
26The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
27the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
28This bill relates to private instruction by parents,
29guardians, and legal custodians and to driver education
30provided by a teaching parent.
31Currently, statute provides that a parent, guardian,
32or legal custodian may place a child in competent private
33instruction under a licensed practitioner; in independent
34private instruction provided by an individual to not more
35than four unrelated students; or private instruction by a
-6-1nonlicensed parent, guardian, or legal custodian.
2“Competent private instruction” is defined in statute to
3mean private instruction provided on a daily basis for at least
4148 days during a school year, to be met by attendance for at
5least 37 days each school quarter, by or under the supervision
6of a licensed practitioner, which results in the student making
7adequate progress.
8Under the bill, private instruction by a parent, guardian,
9or legal custodian is competent private instruction,
10but remains exempt from certain reporting and assessment
11requirements.
12Currently, a parent, guardian, or legal custodian who
13places a child in private instruction by a nonlicensed person
14may ensure that the results of the child’s annual evaluation
15are reported to the school district of residence and to the
16department of education by June 30, which the bill extends to
17August 1 of the year following the school year in which the
18child was under private instruction.
19Currently, each child of compulsory attendance age who is
20receiving competent private instruction shall be evaluated
21annually by May 1, which the bill extends to May 31.
22The bill modifies the Code section establishing requirements
23and responsibilities when a child fails to make adequate
24progress by providing that the Code section shall not be
25construed to require or prohibit testing on any subject matter
26at intervals more frequently or at grade levels other than
27those set forth in Code section 256.7(21)(b)(2), which requires
28annual assessments in mathematics and English language arts for
29students enrolled in grades 3 through 11, and in science for
30students enrolled in grades 5, 8, and 10.
31Currently, “teaching parent” means a parent, guardian,
32or legal custodian of a student who is currently providing
33competent private instruction to the student, which the bill
34amends to include the parent, guardian, or legal custodian of a
35student receiving private instruction under Code chapter 299A.
-7- 1Currently, an approved course administered by a teaching
2parent must consist of 30 hours of classroom time, which the
3bill eliminates; and 40 hours of street or highway driving,
4which the bill reduces to 30 hours, and must include 4 hours
5of driving after sunset and before sunrise, which the bill
6reduces to 3 hours. The bill also eliminates the number of
7instructional hours currently required concerning substance
8abuse and railroad crossing safety, adds that regular driver
9education instruction and instruction by a teaching parent must
10include sharing the road with pedestrians, and provides that
11actual classroom hours and minutes required for an approved
12driver education course shall not be required for driver
13education provided by a teaching parent.
14Currently, the teaching parent must provide evidence
15showing the student’s completion of the requirements for an
16intermediate license. The evidence includes documentation
17that the student is receiving competent private instruction,
18which under the bill includes documentation that the student
19is receiving private instruction under Code chapter 299A, or
20the name of the school district within which the student is
21receiving instruction. Under the bill, the option to provide
22the name of the school district is stricken. Evidence also
23includes copies of written tests completed by the student,
24and the bill adds that in place of these copies, the DOT
25may require lesser documentation. The bill also strikes a
26requirement that the student’s and teaching parent’s name and
27initials be noted next to each entry on a log of completed
28street or highway driving instruction.
29The bill also provides that Code section 321.178A shall not
30be construed to require a teaching parent to apply for or seek
31approval of the DOT separate from the course completion and
32certification established in the Code section.
33The bill makes conforming changes.

3mean private instruction provided on a daily basis for at least
4148 days during a school year, to be met by attendance for at
5least 37 days each school quarter, by or under the supervision
6of a licensed practitioner, which results in the student making
7adequate progress.
8Under the bill, private instruction by a parent, guardian,
9or legal custodian is competent private instruction,
10but remains exempt from certain reporting and assessment
11requirements.
12Currently, a parent, guardian, or legal custodian who
13places a child in private instruction by a nonlicensed person
14may ensure that the results of the child’s annual evaluation
15are reported to the school district of residence and to the
16department of education by June 30, which the bill extends to
17August 1 of the year following the school year in which the
18child was under private instruction.
19Currently, each child of compulsory attendance age who is
20receiving competent private instruction shall be evaluated
21annually by May 1, which the bill extends to May 31.
22The bill modifies the Code section establishing requirements
23and responsibilities when a child fails to make adequate
24progress by providing that the Code section shall not be
25construed to require or prohibit testing on any subject matter
26at intervals more frequently or at grade levels other than
27those set forth in Code section 256.7(21)(b)(2), which requires
28annual assessments in mathematics and English language arts for
29students enrolled in grades 3 through 11, and in science for
30students enrolled in grades 5, 8, and 10.
31Currently, “teaching parent” means a parent, guardian,
32or legal custodian of a student who is currently providing
33competent private instruction to the student, which the bill
34amends to include the parent, guardian, or legal custodian of a
35student receiving private instruction under Code chapter 299A.
-7- 1Currently, an approved course administered by a teaching
2parent must consist of 30 hours of classroom time, which the
3bill eliminates; and 40 hours of street or highway driving,
4which the bill reduces to 30 hours, and must include 4 hours
5of driving after sunset and before sunrise, which the bill
6reduces to 3 hours. The bill also eliminates the number of
7instructional hours currently required concerning substance
8abuse and railroad crossing safety, adds that regular driver
9education instruction and instruction by a teaching parent must
10include sharing the road with pedestrians, and provides that
11actual classroom hours and minutes required for an approved
12driver education course shall not be required for driver
13education provided by a teaching parent.
14Currently, the teaching parent must provide evidence
15showing the student’s completion of the requirements for an
16intermediate license. The evidence includes documentation
17that the student is receiving competent private instruction,
18which under the bill includes documentation that the student
19is receiving private instruction under Code chapter 299A, or
20the name of the school district within which the student is
21receiving instruction. Under the bill, the option to provide
22the name of the school district is stricken. Evidence also
23includes copies of written tests completed by the student,
24and the bill adds that in place of these copies, the DOT
25may require lesser documentation. The bill also strikes a
26requirement that the student’s and teaching parent’s name and
27initials be noted next to each entry on a log of completed
28street or highway driving instruction.
29The bill also provides that Code section 321.178A shall not
30be construed to require a teaching parent to apply for or seek
31approval of the DOT separate from the course completion and
32certification established in the Code section.
33The bill makes conforming changes.
