Yes, they removed the word compulsory - but all that meant was that if the child is going to all their classes, they don't need to then stay at school during the period of time in which they don't have classes. Which is entirely reasonable to me. Why should I have to keep my child at school if he has a study hall last period when I want to take him home to say go to a karate lesson. It basically allows for more comprehensive home schooling/school partnerships. In many states you can send your child to public school for say math and science and then bring them home for English and History, but as the law was written before, this would have violated the truancy laws in the state of NH.
