9270 - PROCEDURE FOR EDUCATING A CHILD AT HOME
The District has established the following requirements and limitations to home education:
Participation in School
Students who are excused from attendance at school by reason of home education will be deemed to have withdrawn from enrollment in District schools during the period of home education. Therefore, the student is not eligible to participate in any of the District's pupil services, programs, or activities including, but not limited to participation in school-sponsored extra-curricular activities or programs.
Assessment
The District strongly recommends that the parent maintain a record of the program of instruction including assessment of what has been learned. This documentation will be important if the child wished to re-enroll in a District school. Such a record could include:
A. resources and books used in the course;
B. the number of hours devoted to each course of study (800 hours minimum);
C. courses of study completed;
D. a portfolio of work done;
E. examples of tests and test scores;
F. standardized test scores demonstrating the student's ability.
The home-schooled student will be permitted to take achievement/ability tests normally given at each grade by the District. This may be done on a fee basis, as determined at the time of the parent request. It is the parent's responsibility to make the appropriate arrangements with the school principal. The District will not pay for any standardized testing of students not enrolled in the school district. The student may take tests such as the PLAN, etc. normally given at grade eight at the same cost charged District students.
Re-Enrollment in School
If a parent wishes to have his/her child return to a District school, s/he must follow normal enrollment guidelines. The conditions and assessment procedures described in AG 5463 - Student Transfer from a Nonpublic School will apply.
Students are encouraged to enroll at the beginning of a semester.
