500.9 HOME SCHOOL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM / COMPETENT PRIVATE INSTRUCTION OPTIONS

The Board, recognizing alternatives to education outside the formal public school system, authorizes the establishment of a home school assistance program. This program will assist students receiving competent private instruction by providing licensed employees of the District to assist the parent, guardian, or legal custodian in the education of the student.
 
The parent, guardian, or legal custodian registering for the home school assistance program will agree to comply with the requirements established by the faculty of the program.
 
Students registered for the home school assistance program will be counted in the basic enrollment.
 
It shall be the responsibility of the Superintendent to develop administrative regulations regarding this policy.
 
In the event a child of compulsory attendance age, over age six (6) and under age sixteen (16), does not attend public school or an accredited nonpublic school, the child must receive competent private instruction or independent private instruction. However, students over five (5) years of age who are voluntarily enrolled in school shall automatically fall under the requirements of this policy.
