(a) A parent or guardian shall have the right to select the type school or method of his or her choice for the K-12 education of his or her child, whether public or nonpublic, religious or nonreligious, and including home-based education.

(b) Nonpublic schools, including private, church, parochial, and religious schools, offering educational instruction in grades K-12, as well as home-schooled students, are not subject to licensure or regulation by the state or any political subdivision of the state, including the State Department of Education.
