**********

During the Pennsylvania legislative session of 2000 - 2002, House Bill 2560 was introduced by Representative Sam Rohrer to provide legislative relief to beleaguered PA home educators.

While HB2560 was defeated in the House Education committee in November 2002, hopes to improve the home education climate in Pennsylvania remain as strong as ever. Pennsylvania Home Educators Association (PHEA) was created to adovcate for these changes. PHEA is a coalition of home educators providing information gleaned from our cumulative experience with PA home education law since it’s passage in 1988.

It is the goal of PHEA to provide accurate information and facilitate communication and networking within Pennsylvania’s home educating community. While PHEA is inclusive with regards to religion and educational methodology, PHEA actively endorses efforts to reduce or eliminate regulation, control, and oversight of home educators.
