School Board Initiative April 2000
In April 2000 OFTP prepared an information package on homeschooling that was distributed to Directors of Education, attendance counsellors and school board chairs. The desired result was to have school board officials and others be better educated about homeschooling and to appreciate parents' rights to educate their children without interference and harassment.
