As we shared in our update last week, we are continuing to monitor HB16-1164 and its ramifications for homeschool families. This week we have a helpful overview of the bill written by Senator Kevin Lundberg. We urge you to:
CHEC Legislative Action Alert (HB16-1164)
CHEC is currently monitoring a bill (HB16-1164) that was introduced to the Colorado House of Representatives on January 28, 2016 and is scheduled for hearing on February 25th.
While the details regarding the total impact of this bill are still being collected, it appears that HB16-1164 presents a potential threat to the privacy and freedom of all homeschool families and a direct threat to families who are homeschooling under non-public school law (i.e. enrolled in private schools which allow homeschooling).
Here is what we need you to do:
Happy New Year!
I would like to wish all of our dear homeschool friends a heartfelt “Happy New Year” from my family and the team here at CHEC. I am thankful that God is granting us another year to serve your family and I am excited about what God has in store!

Garrett Swasey: Legacy of a Homeschool Dad
Dear Friends,
On Friday, November 27th, a dearly loved husband, father, church elder, and police officer, Garrett Swasey, was killed in the line of duty in Colorado Springs, CO.
Garrett was a homeschool dad and some of you probably saw him and his wife Rachel walking the halls of CHEC’s Rocky Mountain Homeschool Conference the last several years.
