Legislative Update - March 23

HB 230 passed by the House Unanimously!

March 20: Late this afternoon the House of Representatives passed HB 230 with a unanimous vote. The bill now crosses over to the Senate. The companion bill to HB 230, SB 189 is now in the Senate Committee on Education/Higher Education.

Please contact the members of the Senate Committee on Education/Higher Education via mail, phone call or email to ask them to support SB 189. If you are a constituent, your request will be more effective. When you call your senator, you will most likely speak with the legislative assistant. Simply ask that the senator support SB 189.

GREENHOUSE Magazine



During the summer of 2012 NCHE conducted an experimented with GREENHOUSE, an online presence of our bimonthly newsletter, Greenhouse Report.  The feedback we received was clear: it helped many gain access to the Greenhouse Report's encouraging and informative articles.  But it also worried some; we received many questions about the future of our printed newsletter.  Would NCHE go exclusively digital?  

Digital and Print: GREENHOUSE Magazine

NCHE understands home educators and the value of printed material. That is why NCHE is pleased to announce that starting Fall 2012, the Greenhouse Report newsletter will continue, but with a fresh design, new schedule and, most importantly, an initiative to serve North Carolinians by getting it into the hands of those interested in educational freedom and alternatives.
