From The Springfield News-Sun: Oversight of parents in Ohio who homeschool children is so limited that the state education department doesn’t know for sure how many students are being home-schooled or how closely districts are monitoring compliance with state law. An investigation following the death of 14-year-old Makayla Norman found few if any consequences for school districts that lose track of homeschooled students. Individual districts are responsible for keeping tabs on parents who teach children at home, but the state administrative code specifies no penalties for districts that don’t comply. Dayton Public Schools lost track of Makayla, a cerebral palsy patient who weighed 28 pounds when she died in 2011, yet the state took no action against the school district.
