On Feb. 28, Judge H. Walter Croskey of the Second District Court of Appeals in Los Angeles ruled that children ages six to 18 may be taught only by credentialed teachers in public or private schools — or at home by Mom and Dad, but only if they have a teaching degree. Citing state law that goes back to the early 1950s, Croskey declared that "California courts have held that under provisions in the Education Code, parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children." Furthermore, the judge wrote, if instructors teach without credentials they will be subject to criminal action. aseldow Sun, 09 Mar 2008 09:11:26 +0000 home school law schools and the law a213 http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/4-7.htm Twenty-sixth, "Public records shall mean all books, papers, maps, photographs, recorded tapes, financial statements, statistical tabulations, or other documentary materials or data, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received by any officer or employee of any agency, executive office, department, board, commission, bureau, division or authority of the commonwealth, or of any aseldow Mon, 28 Jan 2008 07:40:15 +0000 public records email law massachusetts mgl http://searchstoragechannel.techtarget.com/guide/allInOne/0,296293,sid98_gci1240081,00.html Develop email archiving services for companies of all sizes faced with unmanageable email growth in the face of regulatory compliance.
