What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Home School Graduation Recognition Act," proposes to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965. The primary goal is to recognize students who have completed their secondary school education in a home school setting as high school graduates. This applies to home schools that are treated as a home school or private school under State law. The legislation changes the heading of a specific subsection to accommodate these non-traditional settings.
