5. Concurrent Enrollment Processes con’t. What the future holds? Excerpt from the Barstow Desert Dispatch: What the future holds? Excerpt from the Barstow Desert Dispatch: California court ruling limits some Barstow home school programs Many programs are not affected by new credential requirement By Jason Smith, staff writer By Jason Smith, staff writer March 6, 2008 - 7:19PM BARSTOW — A recent ruling by a California court might make it more difficult for Barstow parents to pursue education outside of the traditional school setting. According to Ronda Sheffield, who tutors children in home school programs at Barstow Community College, a new requirement of parents to have teaching credentials to home school will create hardship for parents who teach their children at home. The ruling, issued by the 2nd District Court of Appeals, came down at the end of February and would require parents who home school their children to obtain teaching credentials, a five-year process that requires multiple examinations and a bachelor’s degree.
