SCHEA reads every proposed bill, keeps us abreast of local and national legislation issues, homeschool rights, and gives us a presence within the state and national political arenas. If someone is trying to pass a law that will negatively affect homeschooling, they spread the word to their members, letting us know who to contact.

This includes membership in Discovery Streaming. Each family creates its account. Be persistent and patient with your inquiries. They do want to help but have a small staff handling the whole state.
