Contacting State Officials

Regarding contacting state officials this page contains:State officials may acquire many important facts, statistics, surveys, and reports. However, they still may not have a clear picture of the parents and adults who as individuals with their families have made the commitment to homeschool.

To clarify that picture, each one of us can write them a one-page letter.

The courteous and sincere written expression of personal convictions about home education may touch the hearts as well as the minds of our state officials.

Anyone who has been touched by the value of homeschooling including teachers, grandparents, other relatives, friends, and neighbours can also write.

See the letter forms, as a guide to addressing and closing your personal message.
