ND HB1467

Creates a new law allowing parents to provide educational instruction to students through "pod education" when the governor declares a statewide emergency or disaster affecting schools' ability to provide in-person instruction.

Parents intending to supervise pod education must file a statement with their school district or county superintendent that includes the child's name, date of birth, grade level, parent's qualifications, and any public school courses or extracurricular activities the child will participate in.

Requires parents supervising pod education to hold at least a high school diploma or GED and provide at least four hours of daily instruction for a minimum of 175 days per year in subjects required by law for public school students.

Students participating in pod education are exempt from standard public school requirements under chapters 15.1-06, 15.1-18, 15.1-20, and 15.1-21.

Provides liability protection for the superintendent of public instruction, school districts, and county superintendents for accepting statements as correct or for damages resulting from a parent's failure to educate a child under this provision.
