The Board of Education encourages the enrollment of all school age children resident in this County in public schools; however, the Board recognizes that school age children may be exempted from compulsory school attendance under certain circumstances, including attendance at a parochial, private or other approved school or if the child is receiving home instruction.

The Board recognizes its responsibility for assuring that every resident school-age child is enrolled in a public, private, parochial or other approved school or is offered an equivalent education elsewhere and designates the Superintendent to act in its behalf.

All requests to educate a child with a home instruction program are to be submitted to the Superintendent.

The Superintendent shall develop and implement administrative guidelines which ensure that, prior to approval of a home instruction request, all statutory and regulatory requirements have been met.

The Board shall not allow a student who is being educated at home to participate in any of the County’s co-curricular or extra-curricular activities.
