O’Neill Initiates Home-Schooling Forum

KILLINGLY- State Representative Arthur O’Neill (R-Southbury) will be conducting an informational forum on home-schooling on Thursday, August 30^th, at 10:00 a.m. at the Killingly Public Library Community Room (25 Westcott Rd., Danielson, just off Exit 92 on 395).

The forum is intended to be the first of a series to be held around the state for home-schoolers to get information about home-schooling and interested parents and families to discuss the climate of home-schooling in Connecticut.

“These forums are intended to be informational and helpful to those who are currently home-schooling or those who are seriously considering home-schooling their children,” said Representative O’Neill.  “It is an opportunity to voice concerns, give support to other home-schoolers, and discuss relieving the many burdens, legal and otherwise, on those who choose to educate their own children at home.”
